Amoretti Lxxix: Men Call You Fair Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCCDCDEE| Men call you fair and you do credit it | A |
| For that your self ye daily such do see | B |
| But the true fair that is the gentle wit | A |
| And vertuous mind is much more prais'd of me | B |
| For all the rest how ever fair it be | B |
| Shall turn to naught and lose that glorious hue | C |
| But only that is permanent and free | B |
| From frail corruption that doth flesh ensue | C |
| That is true beauty that doth argue you | C |
| To be divine and born of heavenly seed | D |
| Deriv'd from that fair Spirit from whom all true | C |
| And perfect beauty did at first proceed | D |
| He only fair and what he fair hath made | E |
| All other fair like flowers untimely fade | E |
