  7. Rhyme Scheme 1 Whoso list to hunt ? I know where is an hind ! But as for me, alas !  I may no more, The vain travail hath wearied me so sore ; I am of them that furthest come behind.5 Yet may I by no means my wearied mind Draw from the deer ; but as she fleeth afore Fainting I follow ; I leave off therefore, Since in a net I seek to hold the wind. Who list her hunt, I put him out of doubt As well as I, may spend his time in vain ! And graven with diamonds in letters plain, There is written her fair neck round about ;    ' Noli me tangere ; for Cæsar's I am,14 And wild for to hold, though I seem tame.'
