Loving And Beloved Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDBBBBEEBFBFGGEH EIGG| There never yet was honest man | A |
| That ever drove the trade of love | B |
| It is impossible nor can | A |
| Integrity our ends promove | B |
| For Kings and Lovers are alike in this | C |
| That their chief art in reigne dissembling is | D |
| Here we are lov'd and there we love | B |
| Good nature now and passion strive | B |
| Which of the two should be above | B |
| And laws unto the other give | B |
| So we false fire with art sometimes discover | E |
| And the true fire with the same art do cover | E |
| What Rack can Fancy find so high | B |
| Here we must Court and here ingage | F |
| Though in the other place we die | B |
| Oh tis torture all and cozenage | F |
| And which the harder is I cannot tell | G |
| To hide true love or make false love look well | G |
| Since it is thus God of desire | E |
| Give me my honesty again | H |
| And take thy brands back and thy fire | E |
| I'me weary of the State I'me in | I |
| Since if the very best should now befal | G |
| Loves Triumph must be Honours Funeral | G |
