The Author To The Reader Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEE| I sing the fortune of a luckless pair | A |
| Whose spotless souls now in one body be | B |
| For beauty still is Prodromus to care | A |
| Crost by the sad stars of nativity | B |
| And of the strange enchantment of a well | C |
| Given by the Gods my sportive muse doth write | D |
| Which sweet lipp'd Ovid long ago did tell | C |
| Wherein who bathes straight turns Hermaphrodite | D |
| I hope my poem is so lively writ | E |
| That thou wilt turn half mad with reading it | E |
