Before The Statue Of Endymion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCADAADA| I have come from Miletos to Latmos | A |
| on a white chariot drawn by four snow white mules | A |
| all their trappings silver | B |
| I sailed from Alexandria in a purple trireme | C |
| to perform sacred rites | A |
| sacrifices and libations in honor of Endymion | D |
| And here is the statue I now gaze in ecstasy | A |
| at Endymion's famous beauty | A |
| My slaves empty baskets of jasmine | D |
| and auspicious tributes revive the pleasure of ancient days | A |
