A Constant Lover Lamenteth. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DBDBEF GHGHIJ KLMLNN| SINCE fortune's wrath envieth the wealth | A |
| Wherein I reigned by the sight | B |
| Of that that fed mine eyes by stealth | A |
| With sour sweet dread and delight | B |
| Let not my grief move you to moan | C |
| For I will weep and wail alone | C |
| - | |
| Spite drave me into Boreas' reign | D |
| Where hoary frosts the fruits do bite | B |
| When hills were spread and every plain | D |
| With stormy winter's mantle white | B |
| And yet my dear such was my heat | E |
| When others froze then did I sweat | F |
| - | |
| And now though on the sun I drive | G |
| Whose fervent flame all things decays | H |
| His beams in brightness may not strive | G |
| With light of your sweet golden rays | H |
| Nor from my breast his heat remove | I |
| The frozen thoughts graven by Love | J |
| - | |
| Ne may the waves of the salt flood | K |
| Quench that your beauty set on fire | L |
| For though mine eyes forbear the food | M |
| That did relieve the hot desire | L |
| Such as I was such will I be | N |
| Your own what would ye more of me | N |
