Portia Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBDEBFGFHHG| To Ellen Terry | A |
| - | |
| I marvel not Bassanio was so bold | B |
| To peril all he had upon the lead | C |
| Or that proud Aragon bent low his head | C |
| Or that Morocco's fiery heart grew cold | B |
| For in that gorgeous dress of beaten gold | B |
| Which is more golden than the golden sun | D |
| No woman Veronese looked upon | E |
| Was half so fair as thou whom I behold | B |
| Yet fairer when with wisdom as your shield | F |
| The sober suited lawyer's gown you donned | G |
| And would not let the laws of Venice yield | F |
| Antonio's heart to that accursed Jew | H |
| O Portia take my heart it is thy due | H |
| I think I will not quarrel with the Bond | G |
