Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDE EEEE EEFF GHEE IIBB JJKKAmarantha sweet and fair | A |
Ah braid no more that shining hair | A |
As my curious hand or eye | B |
Hovering round thee let it fly | B |
- | |
Let it fly as unconfin'd | C |
As its calm ravisher the wind | C |
Who hath left his darling th'East | D |
To wanton o'er that spicy nest | E |
- | |
Ev'ry tress must be confest | E |
But neatly tangled at the best | E |
Like a clue of golden thread | E |
Most excellently ravelled | E |
- | |
Do not then wind up that light | E |
In ribands and o'er cloud in night | E |
Like the sun in's early ray | F |
But shake your head and scatter day | F |
- | |
See 'tis broke Within this grove | G |
The bower and the walks of love | H |
Weary lie we down and rest | E |
And fan each other's panting breast | E |
- | |
Here we'll strip and cool our fire | I |
In cream below in milk baths higher | I |
And when all wells are drawn dry | B |
I'll drink a tear out of thine eye | B |
- | |
Which our very joys shall leave | J |
That sorrows thus we can deceive | J |
Or our very sorrows weep | K |
That joys so ripe so little keep | K |
