Another (ii) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDCCEEFGEHIJKKCL MMNNOOPPQRSSCC| As loving hind that hartless wants her deer | A |
| Scuds through the woods and fern with hark'ning ear | B |
| Perplext in every bush and nook doth pry | C |
| Her dearest deer might answer ear or eye | C |
| So doth my anxious soul which now doth miss | D |
| A dearer dear far dearer heart than this | D |
| Still wait with doubts and hopes and failing eye | C |
| His voice to hear or person to descry | C |
| Or as the pensive dove doth all alone | E |
| On withered bough most uncouthly bemoan | E |
| The absence of her love and loving mate | F |
| Whose loss hath made her so unfortunate | G |
| Ev'n thus do I with many a deep sad groan | E |
| Bewail my turtle true who now is gone | H |
| His presence and his safe return still woos | I |
| With thousand doleful sighs and mournful coos | J |
| Or as the loving mullet that true fish | K |
| Her fellow lost nor joy nor life do wish | K |
| But launches on that shore there for to die | C |
| Where she her captive husband doth espy | L |
| Mine being gone I lead a joyless life | M |
| I have a loving peer yet seem no wife | M |
| But worst of all to him can't steer my course | N |
| I here he there alas both kept by force | N |
| Return my dear my joy my only love | O |
| Unto thy hind thy mullet and thy dove | O |
| Who neither joys in pasture house nor streams | P |
| The substance gone O me these are but dreams | P |
| Together at one tree oh let us browse | Q |
| And like two turtles roost within one house | R |
| And like the mullets in one river glide | S |
| Let's still remain but one till death divide | S |
| Thy loving love and dearest dear | C |
| At home abroad and everywhere | C |
