Thomas Middleton: Ix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| A WILD MOON riding high from cloud to cloud | A |
| That sees and sees not glimmering far beneath | B |
| Hell s children revel along the shuddering heath | B |
| With dirge like mirth and raiment like a shroud | A |
| A worse fair face than witchcraft s passion proud | A |
| With brows blood flecked behind their bridal wreath | B |
| And lips that bade the assassin s sword find sheath | B |
| Deep in the heart whereto love s heart was vowed | A |
| A game of close contentious crafts and creeds | C |
| Played till white England bring black Spain to shame | D |
| A son s bright sword and brighter soul whose deeds | C |
| High conscience lights for mother s love and fame | D |
| Pure gipsy flowers and poisonous courtly weeds | C |
| Such tokens and such trophies crown thy name | D |
