To Aristius Fuscus Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JHKH LMNM IOPQ| Fuscus whoso to good inclines | A |
| And is a faultless liver | B |
| Nor Moorish spear nor bow need fear | C |
| Nor poison arrowed quiver | B |
| - | |
| Ay though through desert wastes he roam | D |
| Or scale the rugged mountains | E |
| Or rest beside the murmuring tide | F |
| Of weird Hydaspan fountains | E |
| - | |
| Lo on a time I gayly paced | G |
| The Sabine confines shady | H |
| And sung in glee of Lalage | I |
| My own and dearest lady | H |
| - | |
| And as I sung a monster wolf | J |
| Slunk through the thicket from me | H |
| But for that song as I strolled along | K |
| He would have overcome me | H |
| - | |
| Set me amid those poison mists | L |
| Which no fair gale dispelleth | M |
| Or in the plains where silence reigns | N |
| And no thing human dwelleth | M |
| - | |
| Still shall I love my Lalage | I |
| Still sing her tender graces | O |
| And while I sing my theme shall bring | P |
| Heaven to those desert places | Q |
