A Vision Upon The Fairy Queen Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGHII

Methought I saw the grave where Laura layA
Within that temple where the vestal flameB
Was wont to burn and passing by that wayA
To see that buried dust of living fameB
Whose tomb fair Love and fairer Virtue keptC
All suddenly I saw the Fairy QueenD
At whose approach the soul of Petrarch weptC
And from thenceforth those graces were not seenD
For they this Queen attended in whose steadE
Oblivion laid him down on Laura's hearseF
Hereat the hardest stones were seen to bleedG
And groans of buried ghosts the heavens did pierceH
Where Homer's spright did tremble all for griefI
And cursed the access of that celestial thiefI
