Tomb Of Iases Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCB

Iases here I lie To whom this proudA
City for youth and beauty gave much fameB
The learned wise admired me and the crowdA
Of simpletons From both I had the sameB
-
Joy But the Hermes and Narcissus fashionC
Wasted and killed me Traveller you will not blameB
If Alexandrian You know the passionC
Of our life here the pleasure and the flameB
