Simplex Munditiis Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAA BBCCAA

Still to be neat still to be drestA
As you were going to a feastA
Still to be powder'd still perfumedA
Lady it is to be presumedA
Though art's hid causes are not foundA
All is not sweet all is not soundA
-
Give me a look give me a faceB
That makes simplicity a graceB
Robes loosely flowing hair as freeC
Such sweet neglect more taketh meC
Than all th' adulteries of artA
They strike mine eyes but not my heartA

Ben Jonson
