Jordan (i) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABA CDEEE FGFGFWho 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 |
