Sonnet 83: Good, Brother Philip Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDC DEE| Good brother Philip I have borne you long | A |
| I was content you should in favor creep | B |
| While craftily you seem'd your cut to keep | B |
| As though that fair soft hand did you great wrong | A |
| - | |
| I bare with envy yet I bare your song | A |
| When in her neck you did love ditties peep | B |
| Nay more fool I oft suffer'd you to sleep | B |
| In lilies' nest where Love's self lies along | A |
| - | |
| What doth high place ambitious thoughts augment | C |
| Is sauciness reward of courtesy | D |
| Cannot such grace your silly self content | C |
| - | |
| But you must needs with those lips billing be | D |
| And through those lips drink nectar from that tongue | E |
| Leave that Sir Phip lest off your neck be wrung | E |
Sir Philip Sidney
