To Lydia Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIJ BFKF LMBM| When 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 |
