Sonnet Xxvii: Because I Oft Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCA ACCA DED EFF| Because I oft in dark abstracted guise | A |
| Seem most alone in greatest company | B |
| With dearth of words or answers quite awry | C |
| To them that would make speech of speech arise | A |
| - | |
| They deem and of their doom the rumor flies | A |
| That poison foul of bubbling pride doth lie | C |
| So in my swelling breast that only I | C |
| Fawn on myself and others do despise | A |
| - | |
| Yet pride I think doth not my soul possess | D |
| Which looks too oft in his unflatt'ring glass | E |
| But one worse fault ambition I confess | D |
| - | |
| That makes me oft my best friends overpass | E |
| Unseen unheard while though to highest place | F |
| Bends all his powers even unto Stella's grace | F |
Sir Philip Sidney
