Lovely Dames Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGHI| Few are my books but my small few have told | A |
| Of many a lovely dame that lived of old | A |
| And they have made me see those fatal charms | B |
| Of Helen which brought Troy so many harms | B |
| And lovely Venus when she stood so white | C |
| Close to her husband's forge in its red light | C |
| I have seen Dian's beauty in my dreams | D |
| When she had trained her looks in all the streams | D |
| She crossed to Latmos and Endymion | E |
| And Cleopatra's eyes that hour they shone | E |
| The brighter for a pearl she drank to prove | F |
| How poor it was compared to her rich love | G |
| But when I look on thee love thou dost give | H |
| Substance to those fine ghosts and make them live | I |
