La Passion Vaincue Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFDDGG

On the Banks of the Severn a desperate MaidA
Whom some Shepherd neglecting his Vows had betray'dA
Stood resolving to banish all Sense of the PainB
And pursue thro' her Death a Revenge on the SwainB
Since the Gods and my Passion at once he defiesC
Since his Vanity lives whilst my Character diesC
No more did she say will I trifle with FateD
But commit to the Waves both my Love and my HateD
And now to comply with that furious DesireE
Just ready to plunge and alone to expireF
Some Reflection on Death and its Terrors untry'dD
Some Scorn for the Shepherd some Flashings of PrideD
At length pull'd her back and she cry'd Why this StrifeG
Since the Swains are so Many and I've but One LifeG
