Madrigal Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABABBCCBDBDLike the Idalian queen | A |
Her hair about her eyne | A |
With neck and breast's ripe apples to be seen | A |
At first glance of the morn | A |
In Cyprus' gardens gathering those fair flow'rs | B |
Which of her blood were born | A |
I saw but fainting saw my paramours | B |
The Graces naked danced about the place | B |
The winds and trees amazed | C |
With silence on her gazed | C |
The flowers did smile like those upon her face | B |
And as their aspen stalks those fingers band | D |
That she might read my case | B |
A hyacinth I wish'd me in her hand | D |
