To Ellen Terry Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBADEDEED| Nay bring forth none but daughters daughters young | A |
| The doubles of yourself with face as fair | B |
| Bearing as candid gait as debonair | B |
| And voice as deeply musically strung | A |
| That the less fortunate age from this age sprung | A |
| In those transmitted gleams of what you were | C |
| May hear your laughter gaze on your despair | B |
| And all but know the witchery of your tongue | A |
| Thus shall the unsteadfast dagger of Macbeth | D |
| Be nerved by his male spouse thus Shylock's knife | E |
| Glittering to smite be dulled by Portia's breath | D |
| Thus saucy Beatrice be won for life | E |
| Juliet in loving warble out her life | E |
| And true Ophelia madden unto death | D |
