Amoretti Lxvii: Like As A Huntsman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDBDDEDEFF| Like as a huntsman after weary chase | A |
| Seeing the game from him escap'd away | B |
| Sits down to rest him in some shady place | A |
| With panting hounds beguiled of their prey | B |
| So after long pursuit and vain assay | C |
| When I all weary had the chase forsook | D |
| The gentle deer return'd the self same way | B |
| Thinking to quench her thirst at the next brook | D |
| There she beholding me with milder look | D |
| Sought not to fly but fearless still did bide | E |
| Till I in hand her yet half trembling took | D |
| And with her own goodwill her firmly tied | E |
| Strange thing me seem'd to see a beast so wild | F |
| So goodly won with her own will beguil'd | F |
Edmund Spenser
