The Fourth Epigram Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BBCCBBDDEEFF EEGGHH| On GALLA | A |
| - | |
| Now liquid Streams by the fierce Cold do grow | B |
| As solid as the Rocks from whence they flow | B |
| Now Tibers Banks with Ice united meet | C |
| And it's firm Stream may well be term'd its Street | C |
| Now Vot'ries 'fore the Shrines like Statues show | B |
| And scarce the Men from Images we know | B |
| Now Winters Palsey seizes ev'ry Age | D |
| And none's so warm but feels the Seasons Rage | D |
| Even the bright Lillies and triumphant Red | E |
| Which o're Corinna's youthful cheeks are spred | E |
| Look pale and bleak and shew a purple hew | F |
| And Violets staine where Roses lately grew | F |
| - | |
| Galla alone with wonder we behold | E |
| Maintain her Spring and still out brave the Cold | E |
| Her constant white does not to Frost give place | G |
| Nor fresh Vermillion fade upon her face | G |
| Sure Divine beauty in this Dame does shine | H |
| Not Humane one reply'd yet not Divine | H |
