Sonnet 51: Pardon Mine Ears Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABCA DED EFFPardon mine ears both I and they do pray | A |
So may your tongue still fluently proceed | B |
To them that do such entertainment need | B |
So may you still have somewhat new to say | A |
- | |
On silly me do not the burden lay | A |
Of all the grave conceits your brain doth breed | B |
But find some Hercules to bear instead | C |
Of Atlas tir'd your wisdom's heav'nly sway | A |
- | |
For me while you discourse of courtly tides | D |
Of cunning fishers in most troubled streams | E |
Of straying ways when valiant error guides | D |
- | |
Meanwhile my heart confers with Stella's beams | E |
And is even irk'd that so sweet comedy | F |
By such unsuited speech should hinder'd be | F |
Sir Philip Sidney
