To His Mistress Objecting To Him Neither Toying Nor Talking Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGHH| You say I love not 'cause I do not play | A |
| Still with your curls and kiss the time away | A |
| You blame me too because I can't devise | B |
| Some sport to please those babies in your eyes | B |
| By love's religion I must here confess it | C |
| The most I love when I the least express it | C |
| Small griefs find tongues full casks are never found | D |
| To give if any yet but little sound | D |
| Deep waters noiseless are and this we know | E |
| That chiding streams betray small depth below | E |
| So when love speechless is she doth express | F |
| A depth in love and that depth bottomless | G |
| Now since my love is tongueless know me such | H |
| Who speak but little 'cause I love so much | H |
Robert Herrick
