Upon Playing At Ombre With Two Ladies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFGG| I know that Fortune long has wanted sight | A |
| And therefore pardon'd when she did not right | A |
| But yet till then it never did appear | B |
| That as she wanted eyes she could not hear | C |
| I begg'd that she would give me leave to lose | D |
| A thing she does not commonly refuse | D |
| Two matadores are out against my game | E |
| Yet still I play and still my luck's the same | E |
| Unconquer'd in three suits it does remain | F |
| Whereas I only ask in one to gain | F |
| Yet she still contradicting gifts imparts | G |
| And gives success in every suit but Hearts | G |
