Chloris Appearing In A Looking Glass Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDDEDEDFDGDHIHI DJDJ| Oft have I seen a Piece of Art | A |
| Of Light and Shade the Mixture fine | B |
| Speak all the Passions of the Heart | A |
| And shew true Life in every Line | B |
| But what is this before my Eyes | C |
| With every Feature every Grace | D |
| That strikes with Love and with Surprize | D |
| And gives me all the Vital Face | D |
| It is not Chloris for behold | E |
| The shifting Phantom comes and goes | D |
| And when 'tis here 'tis pale and cold | E |
| Nor any Female Softness knows | D |
| But 'tis her Image for I feel | F |
| The very Pains that Chloris gives | D |
| Her Charms are there I know 'em well | G |
| I see what in my Bosom lives | D |
| Oh cou'd I but the Picture save | H |
| 'Tis drawn by her own matchless Skill | I |
| Nature the lively Colours gave | H |
| And she need only Look to Kill | I |
| Ah Fair one will it not suffice | D |
| That I shou'd once your Victim lye | J |
| Unless you multiply your Eyes | D |
| And strive to make me doubly Dye | J |
