A Celebration Of Charis: Iv. Her Triumph Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDDEE DBDBFFGGHH IJIJFFFFCC| See the chariot at hand here of Love | A |
| Wherein my lady rideth | B |
| Each that draws is a swan or a dove | A |
| And well the car Love guideth | B |
| As she goes all hearts do duty | C |
| Unto her beauty | C |
| And enamour'd do wish so they might | D |
| But enjoy such a sight | D |
| That they still were to run by her side | E |
| Through swords through seas whither she would ride | E |
| - | |
| Do but look on her eyes they do light | D |
| All that Love's world compriseth | B |
| Do but look on her hair it is bright | D |
| As Love's star when it riseth | B |
| Do but mark her forehead's smoother | F |
| Than words that soothe her | F |
| And from her arched brows such a grace | G |
| Sheds itself through the face | G |
| As alone there triumphs to the life | H |
| All the gain all the good of the elements' strife | H |
| - | |
| Have you seen but a bright lily grow | I |
| Before rude hands have touch'd it | J |
| Ha' you mark'd but the fall o' the snow | I |
| Before the soil hath smutch'd it | J |
| Ha' you felt the wool o' the beaver | F |
| Or swan's down ever | F |
| Or have smelt o' the bud o' the briar | F |
| Or the nard in the fire | F |
| Or have tasted the bag of the bee | C |
| Oh so white Oh so soft Oh so sweet is she | C |
