Semele Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCDDBEAAFGHG| No praise to me | A |
| My joy 'twas to be nothing but the glass | B |
| Thro' which the general boon of Heaven should pass | B |
| To focus upon thee | A |
| Nor is't thy blame | C |
| Thou first should'st glow and after fade i' the flame | C |
| It takes more might | D |
| Than God has given thee Dear so long to feel delight | D |
| Shall I alas | B |
| Reproach thee with thy change and my regret | E |
| Blind fumblers that we be | A |
| About the portals of felicity | A |
| The wind of words would scatter tears would wash | F |
| Quite out the little heat | G |
| Beneath the silent and chill seeming ash | H |
| Perchance still slumbering sweet | G |
