Methought I Saw My Late Espoused Saint Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEDEEE| Methought I saw my late espoused Saint | A |
| Brought to me like Alcestis from the grave | B |
| Who Jove's great Son to her glad Husband gave | B |
| Rescu'd from death by force though pale and faint | A |
| Mine as whom washt from spot of child bed taint | A |
| Purification in the old Law did save | B |
| And such as yet once more I trust to have | C |
| Full sight of her in Heav'n without restraint | A |
| Came vested all in white pure as her mind | D |
| Her face was veil'd yet to my fancied sight | E |
| Love sweetness goodness in her person shin'd | D |
| So clear as in no face with more delight | E |
| But O as to embrace me she enclin'd | E |
| I wak'd she fled and day brought back my night | E |
