Sonnet 7: When Nature Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ABAB CDC DEE| When Nature made her chief work Stella's eyes | A |
| In color black why wrapp'd she beams so bright | B |
| Would she in beamy black like painter wise | A |
| Frame daintiest lustre mix'd of shades and light | B |
| - | |
| Or did she else that sober hue devise | A |
| In object best to knit and strength our sight | B |
| Lest if no veil those brave gleams did disguise | A |
| They sun like should more dazzle than delight | B |
| - | |
| Or would she her miraculous power show | C |
| That whereas black seems Beauty's contrary | D |
| She even if black doth make all beauties flow | C |
| - | |
| Both so and thus she minding Love shoud be | D |
| Placed ever there gave him this mourning weed | E |
| To honor all their deaths who for her bleed | E |
