Amaryllis'(theocritus, Idyll, Iii.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABABCDCDCD| Fair Amaryllis wilt thou never peep | A |
| From forth the cave and call me and be mine | B |
| Lo apples ten I bear thee from the steep | A |
| These didst thou long for and all these are thine | B |
| Ah would I were a honey bee to sweep | A |
| Through ivy and the bracken and woodbine | B |
| To watch thee waken Love and watch thee sleep | A |
| Within thy grot below the shadowy pine | B |
| Now know I Love a cruel god is he | C |
| The wild beast bare him in the wild wood drear | D |
| And truly to the bone he burneth me | C |
| But black browed Amaryllis ne'er a tear | D |
| Nor sigh nor blush nor aught have I from thee | C |
| Nay nor a kiss a little gift and dear | D |
