To Myrrha, Hard-hearted Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFFGGHH| Fold now thine arms and hang the head | A |
| Like to a lily withered | B |
| Next look thou like a sickly moon | C |
| Or like Jocasta in a swoon | C |
| Then weep and sigh and softly go | D |
| Like to a widow drown'd in woe | D |
| Or like a virgin full of ruth | E |
| For the lost sweetheart of her youth | E |
| And all because fair maid thou art | F |
| Insensible of all my smart | F |
| And of those evil days that be | G |
| Now posting on to punish thee | G |
| The gods are easy and condemn | H |
| All such as are not soft like them | H |
Robert Herrick
