To Lorenzo Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGHGII| Go distant shores and brighter conquests seek | A |
| But my affection will your scorn survive | B |
| For not from radiant eyes or crimson cheek | A |
| My fondness I or you your power derive | B |
| - | |
| Nor sprung the passion from your fancied love | C |
| To me your smiles no dear delusion caused | D |
| I saw you tower my humble hopes above | C |
| And ere I loved I shuddered trembled paused | E |
| - | |
| But I was formed to prize superior worth | F |
| And felt 't was virtue you with love to see | G |
| I hoped a choice so glorious might call forth | H |
| Merit like yours Lorenzo e'en in me | G |
| Then go assured that mine's no transient flame | I |
| For on your worth it feeds and lives upon your fame | I |
