His Tears To Thamesis Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEEEFFGHIIAAJJ AAKKHH| I send I send here my supremest kiss | A |
| To thee my silver footed Thamesis | A |
| No more shall I reiterate thy Strand | B |
| Whereon so many stately structures stand | B |
| Nor in the summer's sweeter evenings go | C |
| To bathe in thee as thousand others do | D |
| No more shall I along thy crystal glide | E |
| In barge with boughs and rushes beautifi'd | E |
| With soft smooth virgins for our chaste disport | E |
| To Richmond Kingston and to Hampton Court | E |
| Never again shall I with finny oar | F |
| Put from or draw unto the faithful shore | F |
| And landing here or safely landing there | G |
| Make way to my beloved Westminster | H |
| Or to the golden Cheapside where the earth | I |
| Of Julia Herrick gave to me my birth | I |
| May all clean nymphs and curious water dames | A |
| With swan like state float up and down thy streams | A |
| No drought upon thy wanton waters fall | J |
| To make them lean and languishing at all | J |
| No ruffling winds come hither to disease | A |
| Thy pure and silver wristed Naiades | A |
| Keep up your state ye streams and as ye spring | K |
| Never make sick your banks by surfeiting | K |
| Grow young with tides and though I see ye never | H |
| Receive this vow so fare ye well for ever | H |
