Song To Celia'ii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBABCB DEFEGEFE

Drink to me only with thine eyesA
And I will pledge with mineB
Or leave a kiss but in the cupC
And I'll not look for wineB
The thirst that from the soul doth riseA
Doth ask a drink divineB
But might I of Jove's nectar supC
I would not change for thineB
-
I sent thee late a rosy wreathD
Not so much honouring theeE
As giving it a hope that thereF
It could not withered beE
But thou thereon didst only breatheG
And sent'st it back to meE
Since when it grows and smells I swearF
Not of itself but theeE

Ben Jonson
