Love Despoiled Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABB CDCDD EFEFF| As lone I sat one summer's day | A |
| With mien dejected Love came by | B |
| His face distraught his locks astray | A |
| So slow his gait so sad his eye | B |
| I hailed him with a pitying cry | B |
| - | |
| Pray Love what has disturbed thee so | C |
| Said I amazed Thou seem'st bereft | D |
| And see thy quiver hanging low | C |
| What not a single arrow left | D |
| Pray who is guilty of this theft | D |
| - | |
| Poor Love looked in my face and cried | E |
| No thief were ever yet so bold | F |
| To rob my quiver at my side | E |
| But Time who rules gave ear to Gold | F |
| And all my goodly shafts are sold | F |
