Lady Hamilton Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG

Men wondered why I loved you and none guessedA
How sweet your slow divine stupidityB
Your look of earth your sense of drowsy restA
So rich so strange so all unlike my seaB
After the temper of my sails my leanC
Tall masts you were the lure of harbour hoursD
A sleepy landscape warm and very greenC
Where browsing creatures stare above still flowersD
These salt hands holding sweetness the leader ledE
A slave too happy and crazed to ruleF
Sea land locked brine and honey in one bedE
And Englands's man your servant and your foolF
My banqueting eyes foreswore my waiting shipsG
I was a silly landsman at your lipsG
