Sonnet 85: I See The House Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDC DEEI see the house my heart thyself contain | A |
Beware full sails drown not thy tott'ring barge | B |
Lest joy by nature apt sprites to enlarge | B |
Thee to ty wrack beyond thy limits strain | A |
- | |
Nor do like lords whose weak confused brain | A |
Not pointing to fit folks each undercharge | B |
While every office themselves will discharge | B |
With doing all leave nothing done but pain | A |
- | |
But give apt servants their due place let eyes | C |
See beauty's total sum summ'd in her face | D |
Let ears hear speech which wit to wonder ties | C |
- | |
Let breath suck up those sweets let arms embrace | D |
The globe of weal lips Love's indentures make | E |
Thou but of all the kingly tribute take | E |
Sir Philip Sidney
