A Recipe Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCABCDCCDCCBB EFBEFBGCHICHBB

Take a pair of sparkling eyesA
Hidden ever and anonB
In a merciful eclipseC
Do not heed their mild surpriseA
Having passed the RubiconB
Take a pair of rosy lipsC
Take a figure trimly plannedD
Such as admiration whetsC
Be particular in thisC
Take a tender little handD
Fringed with dainty fingerettesC
Press it in parenthesisC
Take all these you lucky manB
Take and keep them if you canB
-
Take a pretty little cotE
Quite a miniature affairF
Hung about with trellised vineB
Furnish it upon the spotE
With the treasures rich and rareF
I've endeavoured to defineB
Live to love and love to liveG
You will ripen at your easeC
Growing on the sunny sideH
Fate has nothing more to giveI
You're a dainty man to pleaseC
If you are not satisfiedH
Take my counsel happy manB
Act upon it if you canB
