Love And Marriage Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AB CBCB DEDE FCFC GHGI JKJK

Eque brevi verbo ferre perenne malumA
SECUNDUS eleg viiB
-
-
Still the question I must parryC
Still a wayward truant proveB
Where I love I must not marryC
Where I marry can not loveB
-
Were she fairest of creationD
With the least presuming mindE
Learned without affectationD
Not deceitful yet refinedE
-
Wise enough but never rigidF
Gay but not too lightly freeC
Chaste as snow and yet not frigidF
Fond yet satisfied with meC
-
Were she all this ten times overG
All that heaven to earth allowsH
I should be too much her loverG
Ever to become her spouseI
-
Love will never bear enslavingJ
Summer garments suit him bestK
Bliss itself is not worth havingJ
If we're by compulsion blestK
