Sonnet 90: Stella, Think Not That I Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDC DEE| Stella think not that I by verse seek fame | A |
| Who seek who hope who love who live but thee | B |
| Thine eyes my pride thy lips my history | B |
| If thou praise not all other praise is shame | A |
| - | |
| Nor so ambitious am I as to frame | A |
| A nest for praise in my young laurel tree | B |
| In truth I swear I wish not there should be | B |
| Grav'd in mine epitaph a poet's name | A |
| - | |
| Ne if I would could I just title make | C |
| That any laud to me thereof should grow | D |
| Without my plumes from others' wings I take | C |
| - | |
| For nothing from my wit or will doth flow | D |
| Since all my words thy beauty doth indite | E |
| And Love doth hold my hand and makes me write | E |
Sir Philip Sidney
