The Tomb Of Ilaria Giunigi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBC DEDEDE| Ilaria thou that wert so fair and dear | A |
| That death would fain disown thee grief made wise | B |
| With prophecy thy husband's widowed eyes | B |
| And bade him call the master's art to rear | A |
| Thy perfect image on the sculptured bier | C |
| With dreaming lids hands laid in peaceful guise | B |
| Beneath the breast that seems to fall and rise | B |
| And lips that at love's call should answer Here | C |
| - | |
| First born of the Renascence when thy soul | D |
| Cast the sweet robing of the flesh aside | E |
| Into these lovelier marble limbs it stole | D |
| Regenerate in art's sunrise clear and wide | E |
| As saints who having kept faith's raiment whole | D |
| Change it above for garments glorified | E |
