The Dart, The Beams, The Sting, So Strong I Prove Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFGHH| The dart the beams the sting so strong I prove | A |
| Which my chief part doth pass through parch and tie | B |
| That of the stroke the heat and knot of love | C |
| Wounded inflamed knit to the death I die | B |
| - | |
| Hardened and cold far from affection's snare | D |
| Was once my mind my temper and my life | E |
| While I that sight desire and vow forbare | D |
| Which to avoid quench lose nought boasted strife | E |
| - | |
| Yet will not I grief ashes thraldom change | F |
| For others' ease their fruit or free estate | G |
| So brave a shot dear fire and beauty strange | F |
| Bid me pierce burn and bind long time and late | G |
| And in my wounds my flames and bonds I find | H |
| A salve fresh air and bright contented mind | H |
