To Lydia Ii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHIH JKJK| When praising Telephus you sing | A |
| His rosy neck and waxen arms | B |
| Forgetful of the pangs that wring | A |
| This heart for my neglected charms | B |
| - | |
| Soft down my cheek the tear drop flows | C |
| My color comes and goes the while | D |
| And my rebellious liver glows | C |
| And fiercely swells with laboring bile | D |
| - | |
| Perchance yon silly passionate youth | E |
| Distempered by the fumes of wine | F |
| Has marred your shoulder with his tooth | E |
| Or scarred those rosy lips of thine | F |
| - | |
| Be warned he cannot faithful prove | G |
| Who with the cruel kiss you prize | H |
| Has hurt the little mouth I love | I |
| Where Venus's own nectar lies | H |
| - | |
| Whom golden links unbroken bind | J |
| Thrice happy more than thrice are they | K |
| And constant both in heart and mind | J |
| In love await the final day | K |
