Quia Multum Amavi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFG HIHI| Dear Heart I think the young impassioned priest | A |
| When first he takes from out the hidden shrine | B |
| His God imprisoned in the Eucharist | C |
| And eats the bread and drinks the dreadful wine | B |
| - | |
| Feels not such awful wonder as I felt | D |
| When first my smitten eyes beat full on thee | E |
| And all night long before thy feet I knelt | D |
| Till thou wert wearied of Idolatry | E |
| - | |
| Ah hadst thou liked me less and loved me more | F |
| Through all those summer days of joy and rain | G |
| I had not now been sorrow's heritor | F |
| Or stood a lackey in the House of Pain | G |
| - | |
| Yet though remorse youth's white faced seneschal | H |
| Tread on my heels with all his retinue | I |
| I am most glad I loved thee think of all | H |
| The suns that go to make one speedwell blue | I |
