Sonnet Xxii: In Highest Way Of Heav'n Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDD CEE| In highest way of heav'n the Sun did ride | A |
| Progressing then from fair twins' golden place | B |
| Having no scarf of clouds before his face | B |
| But shining forth of heat in his chief pride | A |
| - | |
| When some fair ladies by hard promise tied | A |
| On horseback met him in his furious race | B |
| Yet each prepar'd with fan's well shading grace | B |
| From that foe's wounds their tender skins to hide | A |
| - | |
| Stella alone with face unarmed march'd | C |
| Either to do like him which open shone | D |
| Or careless of the wealth because her own | D |
| - | |
| Yet were the hid and meaner beauties parch'd | C |
| Her daintiest bare went free the cause was this | E |
| The Sun which others burn'd did her but kiss | E |
Sir Philip Sidney
