The Faerie Qveene Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Me thought I saw the grave where she lay | A |
| Within that Temple where the vestal flame | B |
| Was won't to burne and passing by that way | A |
| To see that buried dust of living fame | B |
| Whose tomb faire love and fairer vertue kept | C |
| All suddenly I saw the Faerie Qveene | D |
| At whose approach the soul of Petrarke wept | C |
| And from thenceforth those graces were not seen | D |
| For they this Qveene attended in whose steed | E |
| Obliuion laid him down on her herse | F |
| Here at the hardest stones were seen to bleed | E |
| And groans of buried ghosts the heruens did perse | F |
| Where he spright did tremble all for grief | G |
| And curst th'accesse of that celestial thief | G |
