Virginibus Puerisque Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFGEFG| I care not that one listen if he lives | A |
| For aught but life's romance nor puts above | B |
| All life's necessities the need to love | B |
| Nor counts his greatest wealth what Beauty gives | A |
| But sometime on an afternoon in spring | C |
| When dandelions dot the fields with gold | D |
| And under rustling shade a few weeks old | D |
| 'Tis sweet to stroll and hear the bluebirds sing | C |
| Do you blond head whom beauty and the power | E |
| Of being young and winsome have prepared | F |
| For life's last privilege that really pays | G |
| Make the companion of an idle hour | E |
| These relics of the time when I too fared | F |
| Across the sweet fifth lustrum of my days | G |
