A True Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBAACCDDDDEEFFDD| What sweet relief the showers to thirsty plants we see | A |
| What dear delight the blooms to bees my true love is to me | A |
| As fresh and lusty Ver foul Winter doth exceed | B |
| As morning bright with scarlet sky doth pass the evening's weed | B |
| As mellow pears above the crabs esteem egrave d be | A |
| So doth my love surmount them all whom yet I hap to see | A |
| The oak shall olives bear the lamb the lion fray | C |
| The owl shall match the nightingale in tuning of her lay | C |
| Or I my love let slip out of mine entire heart | D |
| So deep repos egrave d in my breast is she for her desart | D |
| For many bless egrave d gifts O happy happy land | D |
| Where Mars and Pallas strive to make their glory most to stand | D |
| Yet land more is thy bliss that in this cruel age | E |
| A Venus' imp thou hast brought forth so steadfast and so sage | E |
| Among the Muses Nine a tenth if Jove would make | F |
| And to the Graces Three a fourth her would Apollo take | F |
| Let some for honour hunt and hoard the massy gold | D |
| With her so I may live and die my weal cannot be told | D |
