A Roman Winter-piece Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHGH IJHJ KLML NOPO| See Thaliarch mine how white with snow | A |
| Soracte mocks the sullen sky | B |
| How groaning loud the woods are bowed | C |
| And chained with frost the rivers lie | B |
| - | |
| Pile pile the logs upon the hearth | D |
| We'll melt away the envious cold | E |
| And better yet sweet friend we'll wet | F |
| Our whistles with some four year old | E |
| - | |
| Commit all else unto the gods | G |
| Who when it pleaseth them shall bring | H |
| To fretful deeps and wooded steeps | G |
| The mild persuasive grace of Spring | H |
| - | |
| Let not To morrow but To day | I |
| Your ever active thoughts engage | J |
| Frisk dance and sing and have your fling | H |
| Unharmed unawed of crabbed Age | J |
| - | |
| Let's steal content from Winter's wrath | K |
| And glory in the artful theft | L |
| That years from now folks shall allow | M |
| 'T was cold indeed when we got left | L |
| - | |
| So where the whisperings and the mirth | N |
| Of girls invite a sportive chap | O |
| Let's fare awhile aha you smile | P |
| You guess my meaning verbum sap | O |
