Sonnet 50: Stella, The Fullness Of My Thoughts Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ABAB CDC DEE| Stella the fullness of my thoughts of thee | A |
| Cannot be stay'd within my panting breast | B |
| But they do swell and struggle forth of me | A |
| Till that in words thy figure be express'd | B |
| - | |
| And yet as soon as they so formed be | A |
| According to my Lord Love's own behest | B |
| With sad eyes I their weak proportion see | A |
| To portrait that which in this world is best | B |
| - | |
| So that I cannot choose but write my mind | C |
| And cannot choose but put out what I write | D |
| While these poor babes their death in birth do find | C |
| - | |
| And now my pen these lines had dashed quite | D |
| But that they stopp'd his fury from the same | E |
| Because their forefront bare sweet Stella's name | E |
Sir Philip Sidney
