Cherry-ripe Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DBDBCC EFEFCC

There is a garden in her faceA
Where roses and white lilies blowB
A heavenly paradise is that placeA
Wherein all pleasant fruits do flowB
There cherries grow which none may buyC
Till Cherry ripe themselves do cryC
-
Those cherries fairly do encloseD
Of orient pearl a double rowB
Which when her lovely laughter showsD
They look like rose buds filled with snowB
Yet them no peer nor prince can buyC
Till Cherry ripe themselves do cryC
-
Her eyes like angels watch them stillE
Her brows like bended bows do standF
Threat'ning with piercing frowns to killE
All that attempt with eye or handF
Those sacred cherries to come nighC
Till Cherry ripe themselves do cryC
