To His Mistress Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABCD| IF he that erst the form so lively drew | A |
| Of Venus' face triumph'd in painter's art | B |
| Thy Father then what glory did ensue | A |
| By whose pencil a Goddess made thou art | B |
| Touched with flame that figure made some rue | A |
| And with her love surprised many a heart | B |
| There lack'd yet that should cure their hot desire | C |
| Thou canst inflame and quench the kindled dire | D |
