Xxxii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDBCEFEFEEThe first time that the sun rose on thine oath | A |
To love me I looked forward to the moon | B |
To slacken all those bonds which seemed too soon | B |
And quickly tied to make a lasting troth | A |
Quick loving hearts I thought may quickly loathe | C |
And looking on myself I seemed not one | D |
For such man's love more like an out of tune | B |
Worn viol a good singer would be wroth | C |
To spoil his song with and which snatched in haste | E |
Is laid down at the first ill sounding note | F |
I did not wrong myself so but I placed | E |
A wrong on thee For perfect strains may float | F |
'Neath master hands from instruments defaced | E |
And great souls at one stroke may do and doat | E |
