Sonnet 96: Thought, With Good Cause Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDE DFF| Thought with good cause thou lik'st so well the Night | A |
| Since kind or chance gives both one livery | B |
| Both sadly black both blackly darken'd be | B |
| Night barr'd from sun thou from thy own sunlight | A |
| - | |
| Silence in both displays his sullen might | A |
| Slow Heaviness in both holds one degree | B |
| That full of doubts thou of perplexity | B |
| Thy tears express Night's native moisture right | A |
| - | |
| In both a mazeful solitariness | C |
| In Night of sprites the ghastly powers to stir | D |
| In thee or sprites or sprited ghastliness | E |
| - | |
| But but alas Night's side the odds hath fur | D |
| For that at length yet doth invite some rest | F |
| Thou though still tir'd yet still do'st it detest | F |
Sir Philip Sidney
