Sonnet 61: Oft With True Sighs Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD ADDD EEF GHI| Oft with true sighs oft with uncalled tears | A |
| Now with slow words now with dumb eloquence | B |
| I Stella's eyes assail invade her ears | C |
| But this at last is her sweet breath'd defense | D |
| - | |
| That who indeed infelt affection bears | A |
| So captives to his saint both soul and sense | D |
| That wholly hers all selfness he forbears | D |
| Thence his desires he learns his life's course thence | D |
| - | |
| Now since her chaste mind hates this love in me | E |
| With chasten'd mind I straight must show that she | E |
| Shall quickly me from what she hates remove | F |
| - | |
| Oh Doctor Cupid thou for me reply | G |
| Driv'n else to grant by angel's sophistry | H |
| That I love not without I leave to love | I |
Sir Philip Sidney
