Sonnet 59: Dear, Why Make You More Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCA ACBA DED EFFDear why make you more of a dog than me | A |
If he do love I burn I burn in love | B |
If he wait well I never thence would move | C |
If he be fair yet but a dog can be | A |
- | |
Little he is so little worth is he | A |
He barks my songs thine own voice oft doth prove | C |
Bidden perhaps he fetcheth thee a glove | B |
But I unbid fetch ev'n my soul to thee | A |
- | |
Yet while I languish him that bosom clips | D |
That lap doth lap nay lets in spite of spite | E |
This sour breath'd mate taste of those sugar'd lips | D |
- | |
Alas if you grant only such delight | E |
To witless thngs then Love I hope since wit | F |
Becomes a clog will soon ease me of it | F |
Sir Philip Sidney
