Xix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBADEDEDE| The soul's Rialto hath its merchandise | A |
| I barter curl for curl upon that mart | B |
| And from my poet's forehead to my heart | B |
| Receive this lock which outweighs argosies | A |
| As purply black as erst to Pindar's eyes | A |
| The dim purpureal tresses gloomed athwart | C |
| The nine white Muse brows For this counterpart | B |
| The bay crown's shade Beloved I surmise | A |
| Still lingers on thy curl it is so black | D |
| Thus with a fillet of smooth kissing breath | E |
| I tie the shadows safe from gliding back | D |
| And lay the gift where nothing hindereth | E |
| Here on my heart as on thy brow to lack | D |
| No natural heat till mine grows cold in death | E |
