Sonnet Xxvi: Though Dusty Wits Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCB DED EFF| Though dusty wits dare scorn astrology | A |
| And fools can think those lamps of purest light | B |
| Whose numbers ways greatness eternity | A |
| Promising wonders wonder do invite | B |
| - | |
| To have for no cause birthright in the sky | C |
| But for to spangle the black weeds of night | B |
| Or for some brawl which in that chamber high | C |
| They should still dance to please a gazer's sight | B |
| - | |
| For me I do Nature unidle know | D |
| And know great causes great effects procure | E |
| And know those bodies high reign on the low | D |
| - | |
| And if these rules did fail proof makes me sure | E |
| Who oft fore judge my after following race | F |
| By only those two stars in Stella's face | F |
