By Eve'ry Sweet Tradition Of True Hearts Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCDEFEGG| By ev'ry sweet tradition of true hearts | A |
| Graven by Time in love with his own lore | B |
| By all old martyrdoms and antique smarts | A |
| Wherein Love died to be alive the more | B |
| Yea by the sad impression on the shore | B |
| Left by the drown'd Leander to endear | C |
| That coast for ever where the billow's roar | B |
| Moaneth for pity in the Poet's ear | C |
| By Hero's faith and the foreboding tear | D |
| That quench'd her brand's last twinkle in its fall | E |
| By Sappho's leap and the low rustling fear | F |
| That sigh'd around her flight I swear by all | E |
| The world shall find such pattern in my act | G |
| As if Love's great examples still were lack'd | G |
