On The Aphorism Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCDAEE FFGG| 'L'Amiti est l'Amour sans ailes ' | A |
| FRIENDSHIP as some sage poet sings | B |
| Is chasten'd Love depriv'd of wings | B |
| Without all wish or power to wander | C |
| Less volatile but not less tender | C |
| Yet says the proverbs 'Sly and slow | D |
| 'Love creeps even where he cannot go ' | A |
| To clip his pinions then is vain | E |
| His old propensities remain | E |
| - | |
| And she who years beyond fifteen | F |
| Has counted twenty may have seen | F |
| How rarely unplum'd Love will stay | G |
| He flies not but he coolly walks away | G |
