To His Mistress, Objecting To Him Neither Toying Or Talking Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGHHYou 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 ever found | D |
To give if any yet but little sound | D |
Deep waters noisless 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
