La Passion Vaincue Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFDDGG| On 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 |
