On A Watch Made By A Blacksmith Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFFGGHI| A Vulcan and a Venus seldom part | A |
| A blacksmith never us'd to filinge art | A |
| Beyond a lock and key for Venus' sake | B |
| Hath cut a watch soe small that sence will ake | B |
| In searching every wire and subtile sphere | C |
| Which his industrious skill hath order'd theire | C |
| It scarce outswells a nut and is soe light | D |
| A Ladies eare might well indure the weight | E |
| Twas for a Mistrisse pitty not his owne | F |
| And yet not pitty when her worth is knowne | F |
| Or els his love that ownes her Either's name | G |
| Is carv'd within the plates the witty frame | G |
| Hath made their letters kiss for them while they | H |
| Have like the watch one pulse one sympathy | I |
