To Quintus Dellius Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABAB CCDCD EEFEF GGHGH CCICI| Be tranquil Dellius I pray | A |
| For though you pine your life away | A |
| With dull complaining breath | B |
| Or speed with song and wine each day | A |
| Still still your doom is death | B |
| - | |
| Where the white poplar and the pine | C |
| In glorious arching shade combine | C |
| And the brook singing goes | D |
| Bid them bring store of nard and wine | C |
| And garlands of the rose | D |
| - | |
| Let's live while chance and youth obtain | E |
| Soon shall you quit this fair domain | E |
| Kissed by the Tiber's gold | F |
| And all your earthly pride and gain | E |
| Some heedless heir shall hold | F |
| - | |
| One ghostly boat shall some time bear | G |
| From scenes of mirthfulness or care | G |
| Each fated human soul | H |
| Shall waft and leave its burden where | G |
| The waves of Lethe roll | H |
| - | |
| So come I prithee Dellius mine | C |
| Let's sing our songs and drink our wine | C |
| In that sequestered nook | I |
| Where the white poplar and the pine | C |
| Stand listening to the brook | I |
