Song: To Celia Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBABCBDEFEGEFE| Drink to me only with thine eyes | A |
| And I will pledge with mine | B |
| Or leave a kisse but in the cup | C |
| And Ile not look for wine | B |
| The thirst that from the soule doth rise | A |
| Doth aske a drink divine | B |
| But might I of Jove's Nectar sup | C |
| I would not change for thine | B |
| I sent thee late a rosie wreath | D |
| Not so much honoring thee | E |
| As giving it a hope that there | F |
| It could not withered be | E |
| But thou thereon did'st onely breathe | G |
| And sent'st it back to mee | E |
| Since when it growes and smells I sweare | F |
| Not of it selfe but thee | E |
