On His Ladies Waking Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: A B B A A B B A B B A C C A

My lady woke upon a morning fairA
-
What time Apollo's chariot takes the skiesB
-
And fain to fill with arrows from her eyesB
-
His empty quiver Love was standing thereA
-
I saw two apples that her breast doth bearA
-
None such the close of the HesperidesB
-
Yields nor hath Venus any such as theseB
-
Nor she that had of nursling Mars the careA
-
-
-
Even such a bosom and so fair it wasB
-
Pure as the perfect work of PhidiasB
-
That sad Andromeda's discomfitureA
-
Left bare when Perseus passed her on a dayC
-
And pale as Death for fear of Death she layC
-
With breast as marble cold as marble pureA
