Woman's Constancy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEFGGFHHIIHH| Now thou hast loved me one whole day | A |
| Tomorrow when thou leav'st what wilt thou say | A |
| Wilt thou then antedate some new made vow | B |
| Or say that now | B |
| We are not just those persons which we were | C |
| Or that oaths made in reverential fear | D |
| Of Love and his wrath any may forswear | E |
| Or as true deaths true marriages untie | F |
| So lovers' contracts images of those | G |
| Bind but till sleep death's image them unloose | G |
| Or your own end to justify | F |
| For having purposed change and falsehood you | H |
| Can have no way but falsehood to be true | H |
| Vain lunatic against these 'scapes I could | I |
| Dispute and conquer if I would | I |
| Which I abstain to do | H |
| For by tomorrow I may think so too | H |
