Tell Thee Truth, Sweet; No Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDACBDA AEFGAFHGA

TELL thee truth sweet noA
Truth is cross and sad and coldB
Lies are pitiful and kindC
Honey soft as Love's own tongueD
Let me love lie soA
Lies are like a summer windC
Wooing flower buds to unfoldB
Lies will last while men are youngD
Tell thee truth love noA
-
Let me sweet lie soA
Lies are Hope's light ministersE
Footless birds upon the wingF
Truth's a name for plodding careG
Tell thee truth sweet noA
Truth's the east wind on the SpringF
'Tis the wind not Spring time errsH
Lies will last while maids are fairG
Let me lie love soA
