Love, The Soul Of Poetry Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACC CCCCDE FGGFBB| WHen first Alexis did in Verse delight | A |
| His Muse in Low but Graceful Numbers walk't | B |
| And now and then a little Proudly stalk't | B |
| But never aim'd at any noble Flight | A |
| The Herds the Groves the gentle purling Streams | C |
| Adorn'd his Song and were his highest Theams | C |
| - | |
| But Love these Thoughts like Mists did soon disperse | C |
| Enlarg'd his Fancy and set free his Muse | C |
| Biding him more Illustrious Subjects choose | C |
| The Acts of Gods and God like Men reherse | C |
| From thence new Raptures did his Breast inspire | D |
| His scarce Warm Heart converted was to Fire | E |
| - | |
| Th' exalted Poet rais'd by this new Flame | F |
| With Vigor flys where late he crept along | G |
| And Acts Divine in a Diviner Song | G |
| Commits to the eternal Trompe of Fame | F |
| And thus Alexis does prove Love to be | B |
| As the Worlds Soul the Soul of Poetry | B |
