Sonnets Iii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDFGHIHJJ| Not with libations but with shouts and laughter | A |
| We drenched the altars of Love's sacred grove | B |
| Shaking to earth green fruits impatient after | A |
| The launching of the colored moths of Love | C |
| Love's proper myrtle and his mother's zone | D |
| We bound about our irreligious brows | E |
| And fettered him with garlands of our own | D |
| And spread a banquet in his frugal house | F |
| Not yet the god has spoken but I fear | G |
| Though we should break our bodies in his flame | H |
| And pour our blood upon his altar here | I |
| Henceforward is a grove without a name | H |
| A pasture to the shaggy goats of Pan | J |
| Whence flee forever a woman and a man | J |
