The Lamp's Shrine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCA DEEDFG| Sometimes I fain would find in thee some fault | A |
| That I might love thee still in spite of it | B |
| Yet how should our Lord Love curtail one whit | B |
| Thy perfect praise whom most he would exalt | A |
| Alas he can but make my heart's low vault | A |
| Even in men's sight unworthier being lit | B |
| By thee who thereby show'st more exquisite | C |
| Like fiery chrysoprase in deep basalt | A |
| - | |
| Yet will I nowise shrink but at Love's shrine | D |
| Myself within the beams his brow doth dart | E |
| Will set the flashing jewel of thy heart | E |
| In that dull chamber where it deigns to shine | D |
| For lo in honour of thine excellencies | F |
| My heart takes pride to show how poor it is | G |
