The Pretty Rose-tree Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDCEEFGCDDC CCHIIHEEJJKDDK| Being weary of love | A |
| I flew to the grove | B |
| And chose me a tree of the fairest | C |
| Saying Pretty Rose tree | D |
| Thou my mistress shall be | D |
| And I'll worship each bud thou bearest | C |
| For the hearts of this world are hollow | E |
| And fickle the smiles we follow | E |
| And 'tis sweet when all | F |
| Their witcheries pall | G |
| To have a pure love to fly to | C |
| So my pretty Rose tree | D |
| Thou my mistress shalt be | D |
| And the only one now I shall sigh to | C |
| - | |
| When the beautiful hue | C |
| Of thy cheek thro' the dew | C |
| Of morning is bashfully peeping | H |
| Sweet tears I shall say | I |
| As I brush them away | I |
| At least there's no art in this weeping | H |
| Altho thou shouldst die to morrow | E |
| 'Twill not be from pain or sorrow | E |
| And the thorns of thy stem | J |
| Are not like them | J |
| With which men wound each other | K |
| So my pretty Rose tree | D |
| Thou my mistress shalt be | D |
| And I'll never again sigh to another | K |
