Ellen Terry In The Merchant Of Venice Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDEFGHFGH

As there she lives and moves upon the sceneA
So lived and moved this radiant womanhoodB
In Shakespeare's vision in such wise she stoodB
Smiling upon Bassanio such her mienA
When pity dimmed her eyelids' golden sheenA
Hearing Antonio's story and the bloodC
Paled on her cheek and all her lightsome moodD
Was gone This shape in Shakespeare's thought has beenE
Thus dreamt he of her in gray London townF
Such were her eyes on such gold colored hairG
The grave young judge's velvet cap was setH
So stood she lovely in her crimson gownF
Mine were a happy cast could I but snareG
Her beauty in a sonnet's fragile netH
