Sonnet 42: Oh Eyes, Which Do The Spheres Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB ABAB DDD DEE| Oh eyes which do the spheres of beauty move | A |
| Whose beams be joys whose joys all virtues be | B |
| Who while they make Love conquer conquer Love | C |
| The schools where Venus hath learn'd chastity | B |
| - | |
| Oh eyes whose humble looks most glorious prove | A |
| Only lov'd tyrants just in cruelty | B |
| Do not oh do not from poor me remove | A |
| Keep still my zenith ever shine on me | B |
| - | |
| For though I never see them but straightways | D |
| My life forgets to nourish languish'd sprites | D |
| Yet still on me oh eyes dart down your rays | D |
| - | |
| And if from majesty of sacred lights | D |
| Oppressing mortal sense my death proceed | E |
| Wracks triumphs be which Love high set doth breed | E |
Sir Philip Sidney
