Equal Troth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CD EDF| Not by one measure mayst thou mete our love | A |
| For how should I be loved as I love thee | B |
| I graceless joyless lacking absolutely | B |
| All gifts that with thy queenship best behove | A |
| Thou throned in every heart's elect alcove | A |
| And crowned with garlands culled from every tree | B |
| Which for no head but thine by Love's decree | B |
| All beauties and all mysteries interwove | A |
| - | |
| But here thine eyes and lips yield soft rebuke | C |
| 'Then only ' say'st thou 'could I love thee less | D |
| When thou couldst doubt my love's equality ' | - |
| Peace sweet If not to sum but worth we look | E |
| Thy heart's transcendence not my heart's excess | D |
| Then more a thousandfold thou lov'st than I | F |
