Lucasta's World Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBBBCD EAFBFBBB GGHIHJHH| Cold as the breath of winds that blow | A |
| To silver shot descending snow | A |
| Lucasta sigh't when she did close | B |
| The world in frosty chaines | B |
| And then a frowne to rubies frose | B |
| The blood boyl'd in our veines | B |
| Yet cooled not the heat her sphere | C |
| Of beauties first had kindled there | D |
| - | |
| Then mov'd and with a suddaine flame | E |
| Impatient to melt all againe | A |
| Straight from her eyes she lightning hurl'd | F |
| And earth in ashes mournes | B |
| The sun his blaze denies the world | F |
| And in her luster burnes | B |
| Yet warmed not the hearts her nice | B |
| Disdaine had first congeal'd to ice | B |
| - | |
| And now her teares nor griev'd desire | G |
| Can quench this raging pleasing fire | G |
| Fate but one way allowes behold | H |
| Her smiles' divinity | I |
| They fann'd this heat and thaw'd that cold | H |
| So fram'd up a new sky | J |
| Thus earth from flames and ice repreev'd | H |
| E're since hath in her sun shine liv'd | H |
