To Virgins. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEEEFFGG| Hear ye virgins and I'll teach | A |
| What the times of old did preach | A |
| Rosamond was in a bower | B |
| Kept as Danae in a tower | B |
| But yet Love who subtle is | C |
| Crept to that and came to this | D |
| Be ye lock'd up like to these | E |
| Or the rich Hesperides | E |
| Or those babies in your eyes | E |
| In their crystal nunneries | E |
| Notwithstanding Love will win | F |
| Or else force a passage in | F |
| And as coy be as you can | G |
| Gifts will get ye or the man | G |
Robert Herrick
