Eyes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEFFGGHH IIJJ KKJJLLMMAAMM| Lucy what do you espy | A |
| In the cast in Jenny's eye | B |
| That should you to laughter move | C |
| I far other feelings prove | C |
| When on me she does advance | D |
| Her good natured countenance | E |
| And those eyes which in their way | F |
| Saying much so much would say | F |
| They to me no blemish seem | G |
| Or as none I them esteem | G |
| I their imperfection prize | H |
| Above other clearer eyes | H |
| - | |
| - | |
| Eyes do not as jewels go | I |
| By the brightness and the show | I |
| But the meanings which surround them | J |
| And the sweetness shines around them | J |
| - | |
| - | |
| Isabel's are black as jet | K |
| But she cannot that forget | K |
| And the pains she takes to show them | J |
| Robs them of the praise we owe them | J |
| Ann's though blue affected fall | L |
| Kate's are bright and fierce withal | L |
| And the sparklers of her sister | M |
| From ill humour lose their lustre | M |
| Only Jenny's eyes we see | A |
| By their very plainness free | A |
| From the vices which do smother | M |
| All the beauties of the other | M |
