Love (ii) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGGFHH| Immortal Heat O let Thy greater flame | A |
| Attract the lesser to it let those fires | B |
| Which shall consume the world first make it tame | A |
| And kindle in our hearts such true desires | B |
| As may consume our lusts and make Thee way | C |
| Then shall our hearts pant Thee then shall our brain | D |
| All her invention on Thine altar lay | C |
| And there in hymns send back Thy fire again | E |
| Our eyes shall see Thee which before saw dust | F |
| Dust blown by wit till that they both were blind | G |
| Thou shalt recover all Thy goods in kind | G |
| Who wert disseized by usurping lust | F |
| All knees shall bow to Thee all wits shall rise | H |
| And praise Him Who did make and mend our eyes | H |
