The Admonition Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABCBCDEFFGG| Seest thou those diamonds which she wears | A |
| In that rich carcanet | B |
| Or those on her dishevell'd hairs | A |
| Fair pearls in order set | B |
| Believe young man all those were tears | A |
| By wretched wooers sent | B |
| In mournful hyacinths and rue | C |
| That figure discontent | B |
| Which when not warmed by her view | C |
| By cold neglect each one | D |
| Congeal'd to pearl and stone | E |
| Which precious spoils upon her | F |
| She wears as trophies of her honour | F |
| Ah then consider what all this implies | G |
| She that will wear thy tears would wear thine eyes | G |
