To The Tune Of The Coventry Carol Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DEFGGF HHIJKI

The nearly rightA
And yet not quiteA
In love is wholly evilB
And every heartC
That loves in partC
Is mortgaged to the devilB
-
I loved or thoughtD
I loved in sortE
Was this to love akinF
To take the bestG
And leave the restG
And let the devil inF
-
O lovers trueH
And others tooH
Whose best is only betterI
Take my adviceJ
Shun compromiseK
Forget him and forget herI
