To Lady Bedingfeld Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDDEEFFGGHHII| To whom as Fancy taking longer flight | A |
| With folded arms upon her heart's high swell | B |
| Floating the while in circles of delight | A |
| And whispering to her wings a sweeter spell | B |
| Than she has ever aim'd or dar'd before | C |
| Shall I address this theme of minstrel lore | C |
| To whom but her who loves herself to roam | D |
| Through tales of earlier times and is at home | D |
| With heroes and fair dames forgotten long | E |
| But for romance and lay and lingering song | E |
| To whom but her whom ere my judgment knew | F |
| Save but by intuition false from true | F |
| Seem'd to me wisdom goodness grace combin'd | G |
| The ardent heart the lively active mind | G |
| To whom but her whose friendship grows more dear | H |
| And more assur'd for every lapsing year | H |
| One whom my inmost thought can worthy deem | I |
| Of love and admiration and esteem | I |
