They Tell Me Thou'rt The Favored Guest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII| They tell me thou'rt the favored guest | A |
| Of every fair and brilliant throng | B |
| No wit like thine to wake the jest | A |
| No voice like thine to breathe the song | B |
| And none could guess so gay thou art | C |
| That thou and I are far apart | C |
| - | |
| Alas alas how different flows | D |
| With thee and me the time away | E |
| Not that I wish thee sad heaven knows | D |
| Still if thou canst be light and gay | E |
| I only know that without thee | F |
| The sun himself is dark to me | F |
| - | |
| Do I thus haste to hall and bower | G |
| Among the proud and gay to shine | H |
| Or deck my hair with gem and flower | G |
| To flatter other eyes than thine | H |
| Ah no with me love's smiles are past | I |
| Thou hadst the first thou hadst the last | I |
