The Decameron Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBC DEFEED| Noon with a depth of shadow beneath the trees | A |
| Shakes in the heat quivers to the sound of lutes | B |
| Half shaded half sunlit a great bowl of fruits | B |
| Glistens purple and golden the flasks of wine | C |
| Cool in their panniers of snow silks muffle and shine | C |
| Dim velvet where through the leaves a sunbeam shoots | B |
| Rifts in a pane of scarlet fingers tapping the roots | B |
| Keep languid time to the music's soft slow decline | C |
| - | |
| Suddenly from the gate rises up a cry | D |
| Hideous broken laughter scarce human in sound | E |
| Gaunt clawed hands thrust through the bars despairingly | F |
| Clutch fast at the scented air while on the ground | E |
| Lie the poor plague stricken carrions who have found | E |
| Strength to crawl forth and curse the sunshine and die | D |
