Sonnet 36: Stella, Whence Doth This Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ABCB DED EFF| Stella whence doth this new assault arise | A |
| A conquer'd yielden ransack'd heart to win | B |
| Whereto long since through my long batter'd eyes | A |
| Whole armies of thy beauties entered in | B |
| - | |
| And there long since Love thy lieutenant lies | A |
| My forces raz'd thy banners rais'd within | B |
| Of conquest do not these effects suffice | C |
| But wilt now war upon thine own begin | B |
| - | |
| With so sweet voice and by sweet Nature so | D |
| In sweetest strength so sweetly skill'd withal | E |
| In all sweet stratagems sweet Art can show | D |
| - | |
| That not my soul which at thy foot did fall | E |
| Long since forc'd by thy beams but stone nor tree | F |
| By Sense's privilege can 'scape from thee | F |
