Queen And Huntress Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDFCC GHGHCC

Queen and huntress chaste and fairA
Now the sun is laid to sleepB
Seated in thy silver chairA
State in wonted manner keepB
Hesperus entreats thy lightC
Goddess excellently brightC
-
Earth let not thy envious shadeD
Dare itself to interposeE
Cynthia's shining orb was madeD
Heaven to clear when day did closeF
Bless us then with wished sightC
Goddess excellently brightC
-
Lay thy bow of pearl apartG
And thy crystal shining quiverH
Give unto the flying hartG
Space to breathe how short soeverH
Thou that mak'st a day of nightC
Goddess excellently brightC

Ben Jonson
