Amoretti Lxxv: One Day I Wrote Her Name Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDBDDEDEFF| One day I wrote her name upon the strand | A |
| But came the waves and washed it away | B |
| Again I wrote it with a second hand | A |
| But came the tide and made my pains his prey | B |
| Vain man said she that dost in vain assay | C |
| A mortal thing so to immortalize | D |
| For I myself shall like to this decay | B |
| And eke my name be wiped out likewise | D |
| Not so quod I let baser things devise | D |
| To die in dust but you shall live by fame | E |
| My verse your vertues rare shall eternize | D |
| And in the heavens write your glorious name | E |
| Where whenas death shall all the world subdue | F |
| Our love shall live and later life renew | F |
Edmund Spenser
