The Token Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGBGB HH| Send me some token that my hope may live | A |
| Or that my easeless thoughts may sleep and rest | B |
| Send me some honey to make sweet my hive | A |
| That in my passions I may hope the best | B |
| I beg no riband wrought with thine own hands | C |
| To knit our loves in the fantastic strain | D |
| Of new touched youth nor ring to show the stands | C |
| Of our affection that as that's round and plain | D |
| So should our loves meet in simplicity | E |
| No nor the corals which thy wrist enfold | F |
| Laced up together in congruity | E |
| To show our thoughts should rest in the same hold | F |
| No nor thy picture though most gracious | G |
| And most desired because best like the best | B |
| Nor witty lines which are most copious | G |
| Within the writings which thou hast addressed | B |
| - | |
| Send me nor this nor that to increase my store | H |
| But swear thou think'st 'I love thee ' and no more | H |
