Rhyme Scheme: AABBBBCD EAFBFBBB GGHIHJHHCold 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 |
