The Coronet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDEFGGFHIHJKKLM NLMNEE| When for the Thorns with which I long too long | A |
| With many a piercing wound | B |
| My Saviours head have crown'd | B |
| I seek with Garlands to redress that Wrong | A |
| Through every Garden every Mead | C |
| I gather flow'rs my fruits are only flow'rs | D |
| Dismantling all the fragrant Towers | D |
| That once adorn'd my Shepherdesses head | E |
| And now when I have summ'd up all my store | F |
| Thinking so I my self deceive | G |
| So rich a Chaplet thence to weave | G |
| As never yet the king of Glory wore | F |
| Alas I find the Serpent old | H |
| That twining in his speckled breast | I |
| About the flow'rs disguis'd does fold | H |
| With wreaths of Fame and Interest | J |
| Ah foolish Man that would'st debase with them | K |
| And mortal Glory Heavens Diadem | K |
| But thou who only could'st the Serpent tame | L |
| Either his slipp'ry knots at once untie | M |
| And disintangle all his winding Snare | N |
| Or shatter too with him my curious frame | L |
| And let these wither so that he may die | M |
| Though set with Skill and chosen out with Care | N |
| That they while Thou on both their Spoils dost tread | E |
| May crown thy Feet that could not crown thy Head | E |
