Horatian Lyrics Odes I, 23. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| Why do you shun me Chloe like the fawn | A |
| That fearful of the breezes and the wood | B |
| Has sought her timorous mother since the dawn | A |
| And on the pathless mountain tops has stood | B |
| - | |
| Her trembling heart a thousand fears invites | C |
| Her sinking knees with nameless terrors shake | D |
| Whether the rustling leaf of spring affrights | C |
| Or the green lizards stir the slumbering brake | D |
| - | |
| I do not follow with a tigerish thought | E |
| Or with the fierce Gaetulian lion's quest | F |
| So quickly leave your mother as you ought | E |
| Full ripe to nestle on a husband's breast | F |
