The Appology Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDBBEEFFGGHHIIGG| 'Tis true I write and tell me by what Rule | A |
| I am alone forbid to play the fool | A |
| To follow through the Groves a wand'ring Muse | B |
| And fain'd Idea's for my pleasures chuse | B |
| Why shou'd it in my Pen be held a fault | C |
| Whilst Mira paints her face to paint a thought | D |
| Whilst Lamia to the manly Bumper flys | B |
| And borrow'd Spiritts sparkle in her Eyes | B |
| Why shou'd itt be in me a thing so vain | E |
| To heat with Poetry my colder Brain | E |
| But I write ill and there fore shou'd forbear | F |
| Does Flavia cease now at her fortieth year | F |
| In ev'ry Place to lett that face be seen | G |
| Which all the Town rejected at fifteen | G |
| Each Woman has her weaknesse mind sic indeed | H |
| Is still to write tho' hopelesse to succeed | H |
| Nor to the Men is this so easy found | I |
| Ev'n in most Works with which the Witts abound | I |
| So weak are all since our first breach with Heav'n | G |
| Ther's lesse to be Applauded than forgiven | G |
