Sonnet Xxiii: The Curious Wits Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA AAAA BAB ACC| The curious wits seeing dull pensiveness | A |
| Bewray itself in my long settled eyes | A |
| Whence those same fumes of melancholy rise | A |
| With idle pains and missing aim do guess | A |
| - | |
| Some that know how my spring I did address | A |
| Deem that my Muse some fruit of knowledge plies | A |
| Others because the Prince my service tries | A |
| Think that I think state errors to redress | A |
| - | |
| But harder judges judge ambition's rage | B |
| Scourge of itself still climbing slipp'ry place | A |
| Holds my young brain cativ'd in golden cage | B |
| - | |
| Oh Fools or over wise alas the race | A |
| Of all my thoughts hath neither stop nor start | C |
| But only Stella's eyes and Stella's heart | C |
Sir Philip Sidney
