Sonnet X: Reason Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BABA CCC CDE| Reason in faith thou art well serv'd that still | A |
| Wouldst brabbling be with sense and love in me | B |
| I rather wish'd thee climb the Muses' hill | A |
| Or reach the fruit of Nature's choicest tree | B |
| - | |
| Or seek heav'n's course or heav'n's inside to see | B |
| Why shouldst thou toil our thorny soil to till | A |
| Leave sense and those which sense's objects be | B |
| Deal thou with powers of thoughts leave love to will | A |
| - | |
| But thou wouldst needs fight both with love and sense | C |
| With sword of wit giving wounds of dispraise | C |
| Till downright blows did foil thy cunning fence | C |
| - | |
| For soon as they strake thee with Stella's rays | C |
| Reason thou kneel'dst and offeredst straight to prove | D |
| By reason good good reason her to love | E |
Sir Philip Sidney
