You Must Not Wonder, Though You Think It Strange Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHH| You must not wonder though you think it strange | A |
| To see me hold my lowering head so low | B |
| And that mine eyes take no delight to range | A |
| About the gleams which on your face do grow | B |
| The mouse which once hath broken out of trap | C |
| Is seldom teased with the trustless bait | D |
| But lies aloof for fear of more mishap | C |
| And feedeth still in doubt of deep deceit | E |
| The scorched fly which once hath 'scap'd the flame | F |
| Will hardly come to play again with fire | G |
| Whereby I learn that grievous is the game | F |
| Which follows fancy dazzled by desire | G |
| So that I wink or else hold down my head | H |
| Because your blazing eyes my bale have bred | H |
