The Dying Lover Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGFGHIHI

I cannot change as others doA
Though you unjustly scornB
Since that poor swain that sighs for youA
For you alone was bornB
No Phyllis no your heart to moveC
A surer way I'll tryD
And to revenge my slighted loveE
Will still love on will still love on and dieD
-
When killed with grief Amintas liesF
And you to mind shall callG
The sighs that now unpitied riseF
The tears that vainly fallG
That welcome hour that ends this smartH
Will then begin your painI
For such a faithful tender heartH
Can never break can never break in vainI
