To Lydia Ii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHIH JKJKWhen 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 |
