Astrophil And Stella'sonnet Cviii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| When Sorrow using mine own fire's might | A |
| Melts down his lead into my boiling breast | B |
| Through that dark furnace to my heart oppressed | B |
| There shines a joy from thee my only light | A |
| But soon as thought of thee breeds my delight | A |
| And my young soul flutters to thee his nest | B |
| Most rude Despair my daily unbidden guest | B |
| Clips straight my wings straight wraps me in his night | A |
| And makes me then bow down my head and say | C |
| Ah what doth Phoebus' gold that wretch avail | D |
| Whom iron doors do keep from use of day | C |
| So strangely alas thy works in me prevail | D |
| That in my woes for thee thou art my joy | E |
| And in my joys for thee my only annoy | E |
Sir Philip Sidney
