Romney Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE BBBB AGHA| Nay Romney nay I will not hear you say | A |
| Those words again I love you love you sweet | B |
| You are profane blasphemous I repeat | B |
| You are no actor for so grand a play | A |
| - | |
| You love with all your heart Well that may be | C |
| Some cups are fashioned shallow Should I try | D |
| To quench my thirst from one of those when dry | D |
| I who have had a full bowl proffered me | C |
| - | |
| A new bowl brimming with a draught divine | E |
| One single taste thrilled to the finger tips | F |
| Think you I even care to bathe my lips | F |
| With this poor sweetened water you call wine | E |
| - | |
| And though I spilled the nectar ere 'twas quaffed | B |
| And broke the bowl in wanton folly yet | B |
| I would die of my thirst ere I would wet | B |
| My burning lips with any meaner draught | B |
| - | |
| So leave me Romney One who has seen a play | A |
| Enacted by a star cannot endure | G |
| To see it rendered by an amateur | H |
| You know not what Love is now go away | A |
