Epilogue Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEBB BBBBFF GHGHII JKJKLL MLMLNN| The day is done and lo the shades | A |
| Melt 'neath Diana's mellow grace | B |
| Hark how those deep designing maids | A |
| Feign terror in this sylvan place | B |
| Come friends it's time that we should go | C |
| We're honest married folk you know | C |
| - | |
| Was not the wine delicious cool | D |
| Whose sweetness Pyrrha's smile enhanced | E |
| And by that clear Bandusian pool | D |
| How gayly Chloe sung and danced | E |
| And Lydia Die aha methinks | B |
| You'll not forget the saucy minx | B |
| - | |
| But oh the echoes of those songs | B |
| That soothed our cares and lulled our hearts | B |
| Not to that age nor this belongs | B |
| The glory of what heaven born arts | B |
| Speak with the old distinctive charm | F |
| From yonder humble Sabine farm | F |
| - | |
| The day is done Now off to bed | G |
| Lest by some rural ruse surprised | H |
| And by those artful girls misled | G |
| You two be sadly compromised | H |
| You go perhaps I 'd better stay | I |
| To shoo the giddy things away | I |
| - | |
| But sometime we shall meet again | J |
| Beside Digentia cool and clear | K |
| You and we twain old friend and then | J |
| We'll have our fill of pagan cheer | K |
| Then could old Horace join us three | L |
| How proud and happy he would be | L |
| - | |
| Or if we part to meet no more | M |
| This side the misty Stygian Sea | L |
| Be sure of this on yonder shore | M |
| Sweet cheer awaiteth such as we | L |
| A Sabine pagan's heaven O friend | N |
| The fellowship that knows no end | N |
