La Passion Vaincue Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFDDGGOn the Banks of the Severn a desperate Maid | A |
Whom some Shepherd neglecting his Vows had betray'd | A |
Stood resolving to banish all Sense of the Pain | B |
And pursue thro' her Death a Revenge on the Swain | B |
Since the Gods and my Passion at once he defies | C |
Since his Vanity lives whilst my Character dies | C |
No more did she say will I trifle with Fate | D |
But commit to the Waves both my Love and my Hate | D |
And now to comply with that furious Desire | E |
Just ready to plunge and alone to expire | F |
Some Reflection on Death and its Terrors untry'd | D |
Some Scorn for the Shepherd some Flashings of Pride | D |
At length pull'd her back and she cry'd Why this Strife | G |
Since the Swains are so Many and I've but One Life | G |
