Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGFHFHF| Love in fantastic triumph sate | A |
| Whilst bleeding hearts around him flow'd | B |
| For whom fresh pains he did create | A |
| And strange tyrannic power he show'd | B |
| From thy bright eyes he took his fires | C |
| Which round about in sport he hurl'd | D |
| But 'twas from mine he took desires | C |
| Enough t' undo the amorous world | D |
| - | |
| From me he took his sighs and tears | E |
| From thee his pride and cruelty | F |
| From me his languishments and fears | G |
| And every killing dart from thee | F |
| Thus thou and I the god have arm'd | H |
| And set him up a deity | F |
| But my poor heart alone is harm'd | H |
| Whilst thine the victor is and free | F |
