Not Iris In Her Pride Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEAAFFGGHH| Not Iris in her pride and bravery | A |
| Adorns her arch with such variety | A |
| Nor doth the Milk white Way in frosty night | B |
| Appear so fair and beautiful in sight | B |
| As do these fields and groves and sweetest bowers | C |
| Bestrewed and decked with parti coloured flowers | C |
| Along the bubbling brooks and silver glide | D |
| That at the bottom doth in silence slide | D |
| The water flowers and lilies on the banks | E |
| Like blazing comets burgeon all in ranks | E |
| Under the hawthorn and the poplar tree | A |
| Where sacred Phoebe may delight to be | A |
| The primrose and the purple hyacinth | F |
| The dainty violet and the wholesome minth | F |
| The double daisy and the cowslip Queen | G |
| Of summer flowers do over peer the green | G |
| And round about the valley as ye pass | H |
| Ye may not see for peeping flowers the grass | H |
George Peele
