Song : 'love Armed' Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDCDC ECFCCCCC| Love in fantastic triumph sat | A |
| Whilst bleeding hearts around him flow'd | B |
| For whom fresh pains he did create | C |
| And strange tyrannic power he shew'd | C |
| From thy bright eyes he took his fire | D |
| Which round about in sport he hurl'd | C |
| But 'twas from mine he took desire | D |
| Enough to undo the amorous world | C |
| - | |
| From me he took his sighs and tears | E |
| From thee his pride and cruelty | C |
| From me his languishments and fears | F |
| And every killing dart from thee | C |
| Thus thou and I the God have arm'd | C |
| And set him up a Deity | C |
| But my poor heart alone is harm'd | C |
| Whilst thine the victor is and free | C |
