Alea Jacta Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCCB DEFFFE GHIIIJ| Dearest I know thee wise and good | A |
| Beloved by all the best | B |
| With fancy like Ithuriel's spear | C |
| A judgment proof 'gainst rage or fear | C |
| Heart firm through many a stormy year | C |
| And conscience calm in rest | B |
| - | |
| Why should I let my wayward feet | D |
| Cross the fair threshold of thy life | E |
| My hopes and cares of little worth | F |
| Drag down thy heavenlier part to earth | F |
| And like strange discord marring mirth | F |
| Fill thy sweet soul with strife | E |
| - | |
| But though such fears will cloud my brain | G |
| Nay though stern Time their truth should prove | H |
| Yet none the less I bid thee take | I |
| My life into thine own forsake | I |
| Thy high heart bid it beat and break | I |
| Like mine but like mine love | J |
