Fawnia Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG HIHIJKJKLL| Ah were she pitiful as she is fair | A |
| Or but as mild as she is seeming so | B |
| Then were my hopes greater than my despair | A |
| Then all the world were heaven nothing woe | B |
| Ah were her heart relenting as her hand | C |
| That seems to melt even with the mildest touch | D |
| Then knew I where to seat me in a land | C |
| Under wide heavens but yet there is not such | D |
| So as she shows she seems the budding rose | E |
| Yet sweeter far than is an earthly flower | F |
| Sovran of beauty like the spray she grows | E |
| Compass'd she is with thorns and canker'd flower | F |
| Yet were she willing to be pluck'd and worn | G |
| She would be gather'd though she grew on thorn | G |
| - | |
| Ah when she sings all music else be still | H |
| For none must be compar egrave d to her note | I |
| Ne'er breathed such glee from Philomela's bill | H |
| Nor from the morning singer's swelling throat | I |
| Ah when she riseth from her blissful bed | J |
| She comforts all the world as doth the sun | K |
| And at her sight the night's foul vapour 's fled | J |
| When she is set the gladsome day is done | K |
| O glorious sun imagine me the west | L |
| Shine in my arms and set thou in my breast | L |
