To Cloris Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFFGGHHIIJJ| Cloris I cannot say your eyes | A |
| Did my unwary heart surprise | A |
| Nor will I swear it was your face | B |
| Your shape or any nameless grace | B |
| For you are so entirely fair | C |
| To love a part injustice were | D |
| No drowning man can know which drop | E |
| Of water his last breath did stop | E |
| So when the stars in heaven appear | F |
| And join to make the night look clear | F |
| The light we no one's bounty call | G |
| But the obliging gift of all | G |
| He that does lips or hands adore | H |
| Deserves them only and no more | H |
| But I love all and every part | I |
| And nothing less can ease my heart | I |
| Cupid that lover weakly strikes | J |
| Who can express what 'tis he likes | J |
