To The Most Virtuous Mistress Pot, Who Many Times Entertained Him Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFWhen I through all my many poems look | A |
And see yourself to beautify my book | A |
Methinks that only lustre doth appear | B |
A light fulfilling all the region here | C |
Gild still with flames this firmament and be | D |
A lamp eternal to my poetry | D |
Which if it now or shall hereafter shine | E |
'Twas by your splendour lady not by mine | E |
The oil was yours and that I owe for yet | F |
He pays the half who does confess the debt | F |
Robert Herrick
