To Her Portrait Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEFEE| This that you see the false presentment planned | A |
| With finest art and all the colored shows | B |
| And reasonings of shade doth but disclose | B |
| The poor deceits by earthly senses fanned | A |
| Here where in constant flattery expand | A |
| Excuses for the stains that old age knows | B |
| Pretexts against the years' advancing snows | B |
| The footprints of old seasons to withstand | A |
| - | |
| 'Tis but vain artifice of scheming minds | C |
| 'Tis but a flower fading on the winds | D |
| 'Tis but a useless protest against Fate | E |
| 'Tis but stupidity without a thought | F |
| A lifeless shadow if we meditate | E |
| 'Tis death tis dust tis shadow yea 'tis nought | E |
