On A Girdle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABC DDEF GGHH| That which her slender waist confined | A |
| Shall now my joyful temples bind | A |
| No monarch but would give his crown | B |
| His arms might do what this has done | C |
| - | |
| It was my Heaven's extremest sphere | D |
| The pale which held that lovely deer | D |
| My joy my grief my hope my love | E |
| Did all within this circle move | F |
| - | |
| A narrow compass and yet there | G |
| Dwelt all that 's good and all that 's fair | G |
| Give me but what this ribband bound | H |
| Take all the rest the sun goes round | H |
