Astrophil And Stella'sonnet Cviii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEEWhen 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
