Sonnet 103: Oh Happy Thames Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ABAB CDC DEE| Oh happy Thames that didst my Stella bear | A |
| I saw thyself with many a smiling line | B |
| Upon thy cheerful face Joy's livery wear | A |
| While those fair planets on thy streams did shine | B |
| - | |
| The boat for joy could not to dance forbear | A |
| While wanton winds with beauties so divine | B |
| Ravish'd stay'd not till in her golden hair | A |
| They did themselves oh sweetest prison twine | B |
| - | |
| And fain those Aeol's youth there would their stay | C |
| Have mde but forc'd by Nature still to fly | D |
| First did with puffing kiss those locks display | C |
| - | |
| She so dishevel'd blush'd from window I | D |
| With sight thereof cried out oh fair disgrace | E |
| Let Honor self to thee grant highest place | E |
Sir Philip Sidney
