A Parody On Euripides's Lyric Verse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBCDEEFFGGHHII| Halcyons ye by the flowing sea | A |
| Waves that warble twitteringly | B |
| Circling over the tumbling blue | B |
| Dipping your down in its briny dew | B |
| Spi i iders in corners dim | C |
| Spi spi spinning your fairy film | D |
| Shuttles echoing round the room | E |
| Silver notes of the whistling loom | E |
| Where the light footed dolphin skips | F |
| Down the wake of the dark prowed ships | F |
| Over the course of the racing steed | G |
| Where the clustering tendrils breed | G |
| Grapes to drown dull care in delight | H |
| Oh mother make me a child again just for to night | H |
| I don't exactly see how that last line is to scan | I |
| But that's a consideration I leave to our musical man | I |
Aristophanes
