Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CCD CCD| As good to write as for to lie and groan | A |
| Oh Stella dear how much thy power hath wrought | B |
| That hast my mind none of the basest brought | B |
| My still kept course while others sleep to moan | A |
| - | |
| Alas if from the height of Virtue's throne | A |
| Thou canst vouchsafe the influence of a thought | B |
| Upon a wretch that long thy grace hath sought | B |
| Weigh then how I by thee am overthrown | A |
| - | |
| And then think thus although thy beauty be | C |
| Made manifest by such a victory | C |
| Yet noblest conquerors do wrecks avoid | D |
| - | |
| Since then thou hast so far subdued me | C |
| That in my heart I offer still to thee | C |
| Oh do not let thy Temple be destroyed | D |
Sir Philip Sidney
