Antinous Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCDEFGEF| Stretched on a sunny bank he lay at rest | A |
| Ferns at his elbow lilies round his knees | B |
| With sweet flesh patterned where the cool turf pressed | A |
| Flowerlike crept o'er with emerald aphides | B |
| Single he couched there to his circling flocks | B |
| Piping at times some happy shepherd's tune | C |
| Nude with the warm wind in his golden locks | B |
| And arched with the blue Asian afternoon | C |
| Past him gorse purpled to the distant coast | D |
| Rolled the clear foothills There his white walled town | E |
| There a blue band the placid Euxine lay | F |
| Beyond on fields of azure light embossed | G |
| He watched from noon till dewy eve came down | E |
| The summer clouds pile up and fade away | F |
