An Ecstacy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDE FGFGEE HIHIDE| E'EN like two little bank dividing brooks | A |
| That wash the pebbles with their wanton streams | B |
| And having ranged and search'd a thousand nooks | A |
| Meet both at length in silver breasted Thames | C |
| Where in a greater current they conjoin | D |
| So I my Best belov d's am so He is mine | E |
| - | |
| E'en so we met and after long pursuit | F |
| E'en so we joined we both became entire | G |
| No need for either to renew a suit | F |
| For I was flax and He was flames of fire | G |
| Our firm united souls did more than twine | E |
| So I my Best belov d's am so He is mine | E |
| - | |
| If all those glittering Monarchs that command | H |
| The servile quarters of this earthly ball | I |
| Should tender in exchange their shares of land | H |
| I would not change my fortunes for them all | I |
| Their wealth is but a counter to my coin | D |
| The world's but theirs but my Belov d's mine | E |
