To The True Patroness Of All Poetry, Calliope Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGFF| It is a statute in deep wisdom's lore | A |
| That for his lines none should a patron chuse | B |
| By wealth and poverty by less or more | A |
| But who the same is able to peruse | B |
| Nor ought a man his labour dedicate | C |
| Without a true and sensible desert | D |
| To any power of such a mighty state | C |
| But such a wise defendress as thou art | E |
| Thou great and powerful Muse then pardon me | F |
| That I presume thy maiden cheek to stain | G |
| In dedicating such a work to thee | F |
| Sprung from the issue of an idle brain | G |
| I use thee as a woman ought to be | F |
| I consecrate my idle hours to thee | F |
