A Black Patch On Lucasta's Face Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCDDDEEFFGHGIIJKI LMMDull as I was to think that a court fly | A |
Presum'd so neer her eye | A |
When 'twas th' industrious bee | B |
Mistook her glorious face for paradise | C |
To summe up all his chymistry of spice | C |
With a brave pride and honour led | D |
Neer both her suns he makes his bed | D |
And though a spark struggles to rise as red | D |
Then aemulates the gay | E |
Daughter of day | E |
Acts the romantick phoenix' fate | F |
When now with all his sweets lay'd out in state | F |
LUCASTA scatters but one heat | G |
And all the aromatick pills do sweat | H |
And gums calcin'd themselves to powder beat | G |
Which a fresh gale of air | I |
Conveys into her hair | I |
Then chaft he's set on fire | J |
And in these holy flames doth glad expire | K |
And that black marble tablet there | I |
So neer her either sphere | L |
Was plac'd nor foyl nor ornament | M |
But the sweet little bee's large monument | M |
