Sonnet Xi: In Truth, Oh Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDE DFF| In truth oh Love with what a boyish kind | A |
| Thou doest proceed in thy most serious ways | B |
| That when the heav'n to thee his best displays | B |
| Yet of that best thou leav'st the best behind | A |
| - | |
| For like a child that some fair book doth find | A |
| With gilded leaves or colored vellum plays | B |
| Or at the most on some find picture stays | B |
| But never heeds the fruit of writer's mind | A |
| - | |
| So when thou saw'st in Nature's cabinet | C |
| Stella thou straight lookst babies in her eyes | D |
| In her cheek's pit thou didst thy pitfall set | E |
| - | |
| And in her breast bopeep or couching lies | D |
| Playing and shining in each outward part | F |
| But fool seekst not to get into her heart | F |
Sir Philip Sidney
