Palomydes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABA CACAC DEDED AFAFF GFGFG| Him best in all the dim Arthuriad | A |
| Of lovers of fair women him I prize | B |
| The Pagan Palomydes Never glad | A |
| Was he with sweetness of his lady's eyes | B |
| Nor joy he had | A |
| - | |
| But unloved ever still must love the same | C |
| And riding ever through a lonely world | A |
| Whene'er on adverse shield or crest he came | C |
| Against the danger desperately hurled | A |
| Crying her name | C |
| - | |
| So I who strove to You I may not earn | D |
| Methinks am come unto so high a place | E |
| That though from hence I can but vainly yearn | D |
| For that averted favour of your face | E |
| I shall not turn | D |
| - | |
| No I am come too high Whate'er betide | A |
| To find the doubtful thing that fights with me | F |
| Toward the mountain tops I still shall ride | A |
| And cry your name in my extremity | F |
| As Palomyde | F |
| - | |
| Until the issue come Will it disclose | G |
| No gift of grace no pity made complete | F |
| After much labour done much war with woes | G |
| Will you deny me still in Heaven my sweet | F |
| Ah Death who knows | G |
