Amour 21 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEEEEDD| Letters and lynes we see are soone defaced | A |
| Mettles doe waste and fret with cankers rust | B |
| The Diamond shall once consume to dust | B |
| And freshest colours with foule staines disgraced | A |
| Paper and yncke can paynt but naked words | C |
| To write with blood of force offends the sight | D |
| And if with teares I find them all too light | D |
| And sighes and signes a silly hope affoords | C |
| O sweetest shadow how thou seru'st my turne | E |
| Which still shalt be as long as there is Sunne | E |
| Nor whilst the world is neuer shall be done | E |
| Whilst Moone shall shyne by night or any fire shall burne | E |
| That euery thing whence shadow doth proceede | D |
| May in his shadow my Loues story reade | D |
