To Lydia Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIJ BFKF LMBMWhen Lydia you once fond and true | A |
But now grown cold and supercilious | B |
Praise Telly's charms of neck and arms | C |
Well by the dog it makes me bilious | B |
- | |
Then with despite my cheeks wax white | D |
My doddering brain gets weak and giddy | E |
My eyes o'erflow with tears which show | F |
That passion melts my vitals Liddy | E |
- | |
Deny false jade your escapade | G |
And lo your wounded shoulders show it | H |
No manly spark left such a mark | I |
Leastwise he surely was no poet | J |
- | |
With savage buss did Telephus | B |
Abraid your lips so plump and mellow | F |
As you would save what Venus gave | K |
I charge you shun that awkward fellow | F |
- | |
And now I say thrice happy they | L |
That call on Hymen to requite 'em | M |
For though love cools the wedded fools | B |
Must cleave till death doth disunite 'em | M |
