Song From The Silent Woman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDD EEFFGG

Still to be neat still to be dressedA
As you were going to a feastB
Still to be powdered still perfumedC
Lady it is to be presumedC
Though art's hid causes are not foundD
All is not sweet all is not soundD
-
Give me a look give me a faceE
That makes simplicity a graceE
Robes loosely flowing hair as freeF
Such sweet neglect more taketh meF
Than all th' adulteries of artG
They strike mine eyes but not my heartG

Ben Jonson
