Song From Amphitryon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DEBBFG

Fair Iris I love and hourly I dieA
But not for a lip nor a languishing eyeA
She's fickle and false and there we agreeB
For I am as false and as fickle as sheB
We neither believe what either can sayC
And neither believing we neither betrayC
-
'Tis civil to swear and say things of courseD
We mean not the taking for better or worseE
When present we love when absent agreeB
I think not of Iris nor Iris of meB
The legend of love no couple can findF
So easy to part or so equally join'dG
