The Parting Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHHSince there 's no help come let us kiss and part | A |
Nay I have done you get no more of me | B |
And I am glad yea glad with all my heart | A |
That thus so cleanly I myself can free | B |
Shake hands for ever cancel all our vows | C |
And when we meet at any time again | D |
Be it not seen in either of our brows | C |
That we one jot of former love retain | E |
Now at the last gasp of Love's latest breath | F |
When his pulse failing Passion speechless lies | G |
When Faith is kneeling by his bed of death | F |
And Innocence is closing up his eyes | G |
Now if thou wouldst when all have given him over | H |
From death to life thou might'st him yet recover | H |
