A Devout Lover Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEAA| I have a mistress for perfections rare | A |
| In every eye but in my thoughts most fair | A |
| Like tapers on the altar shine her eyes | B |
| Her breath is the perfume of sacrifice | C |
| And wheresoe'er my fancy would begin | D |
| Still her perfection lets religion in | D |
| We sit and talk and kiss away the hours | E |
| As chastely as the morning dews kiss flowers | E |
| I touch her like my beads with devout care | A |
| And come unto my courtship as my prayer | A |
