Fragment: Trionfo Della Morte Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBCDCDAEFAFA| Now since nor grief nor fear was longer there | A |
| Each thought on her fair face was clear to see | B |
| Composed into the calmness of despair | A |
| Not like a flame extinguished violently | B |
| But one consuming of its proper light | C |
| Even so in peace serene of soul passed she | B |
| Even as a lamp so lucid softly bright | C |
| Whose sustenance doth fail by slow degrees | D |
| Wearing unto the end its wonted plight | C |
| Not pale but whiter than the snow one sees | D |
| Flaking a hillside through the windless air | A |
| Like one o'erwearied she reposed in peace | E |
| As 't were a sweet sleep filled each lovely eye | F |
| The soul already having fled from there | A |
| And this is what dull fools have named to die | F |
| Upon her fair face death itself seemed fair | A |
