I'll Never Love Thee More Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH CBCBIDID JKJLMDMDMy dear and only Love I pray | A |
That little world of thee | B |
Be govern'd by no other sway | A |
Than purest monarchy | B |
For if confusion have a part | C |
Which virtuous souls abhor | D |
And hold a synod in thine heart | C |
I'll never love thee more | D |
- | |
Like Alexander I will reign | E |
And I will reign alone | F |
My thoughts did evermore disdain | E |
A rival on my throne | F |
He either fears his fate too much | G |
Or his deserts are small | H |
That dares not put it to the touch | G |
To gain or lose it all | H |
- | |
And in the empire of thine heart | C |
Where I should solely be | B |
If others do pretend a part | C |
Or dare to vie with me | B |
Or if Committees thou erect | I |
And go on such a score | D |
I'll laugh and sing at thy neglect | I |
And never love thee more | D |
- | |
But if thou wilt prove faithful then | J |
And constant of thy word | K |
I'll make thee glorious by my pen | J |
And famous by my sword | L |
I'll serve thee in such noble ways | M |
Was never heard before | D |
I'll crown and deck thee all with bays | M |
And love thee more and more | D |
