Proem Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBACCDEEDBB| Long left unwounded by the grisly foe | A |
| Who sometime pierces all with fatal shaft | B |
| Still on my cheek fresh youth did lively glow | A |
| And at his threatening arrow gaily laught | B |
| Came then my friendly scholar and we quaffed | B |
| From learning's spring its sparkling overflow | A |
| All through the lingering evening's charm d hours | C |
| Delightful fellowship in thought was ours | C |
| If I from Poesy could not all abstain | D |
| He my poor verses oft did quite undress | E |
| New wrapt in words my thought's veiled nakedness | E |
| Or kindly clipt my steed's luxuriant mane | D |
| 'Twas my delight his searching eye to meet | B |
| In days of genial versing memories sweet | B |
