Rime 34 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEGHIJKLM

Love do you know why your fair mother gave youA
These arrows to your hands and bound your eyesB
That you may shoot the first wound and breakC
The heart of this or any faithful loverD
And tied the blindfold so you cannot seeE
The dreadful cruelty you have inflictedF
So that it will not let you suffer pityE
Or even moderate your impious furorG
For if you saw one of my dreadful woundsH
You would not be a god but a wild beastI
Or it might make you tender or less fierceJ
I would not wish you to come face to faceK
With the rays of my sun my wound would seemL
Next to his greatness small and even lightM
