Sonnet 100: Oh Tears, No Tears Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA AAC DDE| Oh tears no tears but rain from Beauty's skies | A |
| Making those lilies and those roses grow | B |
| Which aye most fair now more than most fair show | B |
| While graceful Pity Beauty beautifies | A |
| - | |
| Oh honeyed sighs which from that breast do rise | A |
| Whose pants do make unspilling cream to flow | B |
| Wing'd with whose breath so pleasing zephyrs blow | B |
| As can refresh the hell where my soul fries | A |
| - | |
| Oh plaints conserv'd in such a sugar'd phrase | A |
| That Eloquence itself envies your praise | A |
| While sobb'd out words a perfect music give | C |
| - | |
| Such tears sighs plaints no sorrow is but joy | D |
| Or if such heav'nly signs must prove annoy | D |
| All mirth farewell let me in sorrow live | E |
Sir Philip Sidney
