Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABCA DED EFF| Pardon 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
