Sonnet Xxvii: Because I Oft Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCA ACCA DED EFFBecause 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
