On Monsieur's Departure Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAAA CACAAA ADADAA| I grieve and dare not show my discontent | A |
| I love and yet am forced to seem to hate | B |
| I do yet dare not say I ever meant | A |
| I seem stark mute but inwardly to prate | A |
| I am and not I freeze and yet am burned | A |
| Since from myself another self I turned | A |
| - | |
| My care is like my shadow in the sun | C |
| Follows me flying flies when I pursue it | A |
| Stands and lies by me doth what I have done | C |
| His too familiar care doth make me rue it | A |
| No means I find to rid him from my breast | A |
| Till by the end of things it be supprest | A |
| - | |
| Some gentler passion slide into my mind | A |
| For I am soft and made of melting snow | D |
| Or be more cruel love and so be kind | A |
| Let me or float or sink be high or low | D |
| Or let me live with some more sweet content | A |
| Or die and so forget what love ere meant | A |
