Sonnets Xxv: Let Those Who Are In Favour With Their Stars Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHI| Let those who are in favour with their stars | A |
| Of public honour and proud titles boast | B |
| Whilst I whom fortune of such triumph bars | A |
| Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most | B |
| Great princes' favourites their fair leaves spread | C |
| But as the marigold at the sun's eye | D |
| And in themselves their pride lies buried | E |
| For at a frown they in their glory die | D |
| The painful warrior famoused for fight | F |
| After a thousand victories once foil'd | G |
| Is from the book of honour razed quite | F |
| And all the rest forgot for which he toil'd | G |
| Then happy I that love and am beloved | H |
| Where I may not remove nor be removed | I |
