Go, Lovely Rose Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABB CDCDD EFGHH BIBII

Go lovely RoseA
Tell her that wastes her time and meB
That now she knowsA
When I resemble her to theeB
How sweet and fair she seems to beB
-
Tell her that 's youngC
And shuns to have her graces spiedD
That hadst thou sprungC
In deserts where no men abideD
Thou must have uncommended diedD
-
Small is the worthE
Of beauty from the light retiredF
Bid her come forthG
Suffer herself to be desiredH
And not blush so to be admiredH
-
Then die that sheB
The common fate of all things rareI
May read in theeB
How small a part of time they shareI
That are so wondrous sweet and fairI
