Beaumont And Fletcher:iv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDEEF| AN HOUR ere sudden sunset fired the west | A |
| Arose two stars upon the pale deep east | B |
| The hall of heaven was clear for night s high feast | B |
| Yet was not yet day s fiery heart at rest | A |
| Love leapt up from his mother s burning breast | A |
| To see those warm twin lights as day decreased | B |
| Wax wider till when all the sun had ceased | B |
| As suns they shone from evening s kindled crest | A |
| Across them and between a quickening fire | C |
| Flamed Venus laughing with appeased desire | C |
| Their dawn scarce lovelier for the gleam of tears | D |
| Filled half the hollow shell twixt heaven and earth | E |
| With sound like moonlight mingling moan and mirth | E |
| Which rings and glitters down the darkling years | F |
