A Coronet For His Mistress, Philosophy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEEEEEGG| Muses that sing love's sensual empery | A |
| And lovers kindling your enraged fires | B |
| At Cupid's bonfires burning in the eye | C |
| Blown with the empty breath of vain desires | B |
| You that prefer the painted cabinet | D |
| Before the wealthy jewels it doth store ye | E |
| That all your joys in dying figures set | F |
| And stain the living substance of your glory | E |
| Abjure those joys abhor their memory | E |
| And let my love the honour'd subject be | E |
| Of love and honour's complete history | E |
| Your eyes were never yet let in to see | E |
| The majesty and riches of the mind | G |
| But dwell in darkness for your god is blind | G |
