Sonnet Xxiii: The Curious Wits Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA AAAA BAB ACCThe 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
