The Fair Singer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABB CDCDEF GHGHII| To make a final conquest of all me | A |
| Love did compose so sweet an enemy | A |
| In whom both beauties to my death agree | A |
| Joining themselves in fatal harmony | A |
| That while she with her eyes my heart does bind | B |
| She with her voice might captivate my mind | B |
| - | |
| I could have fled from one but singly fair | C |
| My disentangled soul itself might save | D |
| Breaking the curled trammels of her hair | C |
| But how should I avoid to be her slave | D |
| Whose subtle art invisibly can wreath | E |
| My fetters of the very air I breathe | F |
| - | |
| It had been easy fighting in some plain | G |
| Where victory might hang in equal choice | H |
| But all resistance against her is vain | G |
| Who has th'advantage both of eyes and voice | H |
| And all my forces needs must be undone | I |
| She having gained both the wind and sun | I |
