To Neobule Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAA AAA BCC AAA AAA| A sorry life forsooth these wretched girls are undergoing | A |
| Restrained from draughts of pleasant wine from loving favors showing | A |
| For fear an uncle's tongue a reprimand will be bestowing | A |
| - | |
| Sweet Cytherea's winged boy deprives you of your spinning | A |
| And Hebrus Neobule his sad havoc is beginning | A |
| Just as Minerva thriftily gets ready for an inning | A |
| - | |
| Who could resist this gallant youth as Tiber's waves he breasted | B |
| Or when the palm of riding from Bellerophon he wrested | C |
| Or when with fists and feet the sluggers easily he bested | C |
| - | |
| He shot the fleeing stags with regularity surprising | A |
| The way he intercepted boars was quite beyond surmising | A |
| No wonder that your thoughts this youth has been monopolizing | A |
| - | |
| So I repeat that with these maids fate is unkindly dealing | A |
| Who never can in love's affair give license to their feeling | A |
| Or share those sweet emotions when a gentle jag is stealing | A |
