Astrophel And Stella Vii: Whennature Made Her Chief Work Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABABCDCDEEWhen Nature made her chief work Stella's eyes | A |
In colour black why wrapt she beams so bright | B |
Would she in beamy black like painter wise | A |
Frame daintiest lustre mix'd of shades and light | B |
Or did she else that sober hue devise | A |
In object best to knit and strength our sight | B |
Lest if no veil these brave gleams did disguise | A |
They sunlike should more dazzle than delight | B |
Or would she her miraculous power show | C |
That whereas black seems beauty's contrary | D |
She even in black doth make all beauties flow | C |
Both so and thus she minding Love should be | D |
Plac'd ever there gave him this mourning weed | E |
To honour all their deaths who for her bleed | E |
