Love Still Has Something Of The Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD DEDF GHGH IDID EJEJ KLKM| Love still has something of the sea | A |
| From whence his Mother rose | B |
| No time his slaves from doubt can free | A |
| Nor give their thoughts repose | B |
| - | |
| They are becalm'd in clearest days | C |
| And in rough weather tost | D |
| They wither under cold delays | C |
| Or are in tempests lost | D |
| - | |
| One while they seem to touch the port | D |
| Then straight into the main | E |
| Some angry wind in cruel sport | D |
| Their vessel drives again | F |
| - | |
| At first disdain and pride they fear | G |
| Which if they chance to 'scape | H |
| Rivals and falsehood soon appear | G |
| In a more dreadful shape | H |
| - | |
| By such degrees to joy they come | I |
| And are so long withstood | D |
| So slowly they receive the sum | I |
| It hardly does them good | D |
| - | |
| 'Tis cruel to prolong a pain | E |
| And to defer a joy | J |
| Believe me gentle Celemene | E |
| Offends the winged boy | J |
| - | |
| An hundred thousand oaths your fears | K |
| Perhaps would not remove | L |
| And if I gaz'd a thousand years | K |
| I could no deeper love | M |
