The Birth Of Virtue Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEE| When long ago the young world circling flew | A |
| Through wider reaches of a richer blue | A |
| New eyed the men and maids saw manifest | B |
| The thoughts untold in one another's breast | B |
| Each wish displayed and every passion learned | C |
| A look revealed them as a look discerned | C |
| But sating Time with clouds o'ercast their eyes | D |
| Desire was hidden and the lips framed lies | D |
| A goddess then emerging from the dust | E |
| Fair Virtue rose the daughter of Distrust | E |
