Sonnet Xxiii: Love's Baubles Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECFF| I stood where Love in brimming armfuls bore | A |
| Slight wanton flowers and foolish toys of fruit | B |
| And round him ladies thronged in warm pursuit | B |
| Fingered and lipped and proffered the strange store | A |
| And from one hand the petal and the core | A |
| Savoured of sleep and cluster and curled shoot | B |
| Seemed from another hand like shame's salute | B |
| Gifts that I felt my cheek was blushing for | A |
| At last Love bade my Lady give the same | C |
| And as I looked the dew was light thereon | D |
| And as I took them at her touch they shone | E |
| With inmost heaven hue of the heart of flame | C |
| And then Love said Lo when the hand is hers | F |
| Follies of love are love's true ministers | F |
