Rhyme Scheme: ABABABABCDCDEELoving in truth and fain in verse my love to show | A |
That She dear She might take some pleasure of my pain | B |
Pleasure might cause her read reading might make her know | A |
Knowledge might pity win and pity grace obtain | B |
I sought fit words to paint the blackest face of woe | A |
Studying inventions fine her wits to entertain | B |
Oft turning others' leaves to see if thence would flow | A |
Some fresh and fruitful showers upon my sunburnt brain | B |
But words came halting forth wanting Invention's stay | C |
Invention Nature's child fled step dame Study's blows | D |
And others' feet still seemed but strangers in my way | C |
Thus great with child to speak and helpless in my throes | D |
Biting my truant pen beating myself for spite | E |
Fool said my Muse to me look in thy heart and write | E |
