Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFFE

White though ye be yet lilies knowA
From the first ye were not soA
But I'll tell yeB
What befell yeB
Cupid and his mother layC
In a cloud while both did playC
He with his pretty finger press'dD
The ruby niplet of her breastD
Out of which the cream of lightE
Like to a dewF
Fell down on youF
And made ye whiteE

Robert Herrick
