To His Young Mistress Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEFEGG HIHIBB BJBJDK| Fair flower of fifteen springs that still | A |
| Art scarcely blossomed from the bud | B |
| Yet hast such store of evil will | A |
| A heart so full of hardihood | B |
| Seeking to hide in friendly wise | C |
| The mischief of your mocking eyes | C |
| - | |
| If you have pity child give o'er | D |
| Give back the heart you stole from me | E |
| Pirate setting so little store | F |
| On this your captive from Love's sea | E |
| Holding his misery for gain | G |
| And making pleasure of his pain | G |
| - | |
| Another not so fair of face | H |
| But far more pitiful than you | I |
| Would take my heart if of his grace | H |
| My heart would give her of Love's due | I |
| And she shall have it since I find | B |
| That you are cruel and unkind | B |
| - | |
| Nay I would rather that it died | B |
| Within your white hands prisoning | J |
| Would rather that it still abide | B |
| In your ungentle comforting | J |
| Than change its faith and seek to her | D |
| That is more kind but not so fair | K |
