Sonnet Xli: Having This Day My Horse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCEFFHaving this day my horse my hand my lance | A |
Guided so well that I obtain'd the prize | B |
Both by the judgment of the English eyes | B |
And of some sent from that sweet enemy France | A |
Horsemen my skill in horsemanship advance | A |
Town folks my strength a daintier judge applies | B |
His praise to sleight which from good use doth rise | B |
Some lucky wits impute it but to chance | A |
Others because of both sides I do take | C |
My blood from them who did excel in this | D |
Think Nature me a man of arms did make | C |
How far they shot awry The true cause is | E |
Stella look'd on and from her heav'nly face | F |
Sent forth the beams which made so fair my race | F |
Sir Philip Sidney
