The Resolve Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGHG GEGEIJIJKLKL| Tell me not of a face that's fair | A |
| Nor lip and cheek that's red | B |
| Nor of the tresses of her hair | A |
| Nor curls in order laid | C |
| Nor of a rare seraphic voice | D |
| That like an angel sings | E |
| Though if I were to take my choice | D |
| I would have all these things | E |
| But if that thou wilt have me love | F |
| And it must be a she | G |
| The only argument can move | H |
| Is that she will love me | G |
| - | |
| The glories of your ladies be | G |
| But metaphors of things | E |
| And but resemble what we see | G |
| Each common object brings | E |
| Roses out red their lips and cheeks | I |
| Lilies their whiteness stain | J |
| What fool is he that shadows seeks | I |
| And may the substance gain | J |
| Then if thou'lt have me love a lass | K |
| Let it be one that's kind | L |
| Else I'm a servant to the glass | K |
| That's with Canary lined | L |
