Then First From Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGFHIJI

Then first from Love in Nature's bowersA
Did Painting learn her fairy skillB
And cull the hues of loveliest flowersA
To picture woman lovelier stillB
For vain was every radiant hueC
Till Passion lent a soul to artD
And taught the painter ere he drewC
To fix the model in his heartD
-
Thus smooth his toil awhile went onE
Till lo one touch his art defiesF
The brow the lip the blushes shoneG
But who could dare to paint those eyesF
'Twas all in vain the painter stroveH
So turning to that boy divineI
Here take he said the pencil LoveJ
No hand should paint such eyes but thineI
