The Primrose Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDE FCGHII

Ask me why I send you hereA
This sweet Infanta of the yearB
Ask me why I send to youC
This primrose thus bepearl'd with dewC
I will whisper to your earsD
The sweets of love are mix'd with tearsE
-
Ask me why this flower does showF
So yellow green and sickly tooC
Ask me why the stalk is weakG
And bending yet it doth not breakH
I will answer These discoverI
What fainting hopes are in a loverI
