Jordan (i) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABA CDEEE FGFGF| Who says that fictions only and false hair | A |
| Become a verse Is there no truth in beauty | B |
| Is all good structure in a winding stair | A |
| May no lines pass except they do their duty | B |
| Not to a true but painted chair | A |
| - | |
| Is it no verse except enchanted groves | C |
| And sudden arbors shadow coarse spun lines | D |
| Must purling streams refresh a lover's loves | E |
| Must all be veiled while he that reads divines | E |
| Catching the sense at two removes | E |
| - | |
| Shepherds are honest people let them sing | F |
| Riddle who list for me and pull for Prime | G |
| I envy no man's nightingale or spring | F |
| Nor let them punish me with loss of rime | G |
| Who plainly say My God My King | F |
