In Vita: Lxvii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Since thou and I have proven many a time | A |
| That all our hope betrays us and deceives | B |
| To that consummate good which never grieves | B |
| Uplift thy heart towards a happier clime | A |
| This life is like a field of flowering thyme | A |
| Amidst the herbs and grass the serpent lives | B |
| If aught unto the sight brief pleasure gives | B |
| 'T is but to snare the soul with treacherous lime | A |
| So wouldst thou keep thy spirit free from cloud | C |
| A tranquil habit to thy latest day | D |
| Follow the few and not the vulgar crowd | C |
| Yet mayest thou urge Brother the very way | D |
| Thou showest us wherefrom thy footsteps proud | C |
| And never more than now so oft did stray | D |
