A Virginal Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBCCBBBCB

No no Go from me I have left her latelyA
I will not spoil my sheath with lesser brightnessB
For my surrounding air hath a new lightnessB
Slight are her arms yet they have bound me straitlyA
And left me cloaked as with a gauze of therC
As with sweet leaves as with subtle clearnessB
Oh I have picked up magic in her nearnessB
To sheathe me half in half the things that sheathe herC
No no Go from me I have still the flavourC
Soft as spring wind that's come from birchen bowersB
Green come the shoots aye April in the branchesB
As winter's wound with her sleight hand she staunchesB
Hath of the trees a likeness of the savourC
As white as their bark so white this lady's hoursB
