Fain Would I Wed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBAAAACCCC| Fain would I wed a fair young man that night and day could please me | A |
| When my mind or body grieved that had the power to ease me | A |
| Maids are full of longing thoughts that breed a bloodless sickness | B |
| And that oft I hear men say is only cured by quickness | B |
| Oft I have been wooed and praised but never could be mov d | A |
| Many for a day or so I have most dearly lov d | A |
| But this foolish mind of mine straight loathes the thing resolv d | A |
| If to love be sin in me that sin is soon absolv d | A |
| Sure I think I shall at last fly to some holy order | C |
| When I once am settled there then can I fly no farther | C |
| Yet I would not die a maid because I had a mother | C |
| As I was by one brought forth I would bring forth another | C |
