Jeremiads Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKKLMKNAOAB| All both in prose and in verse in Germany fast is decaying | A |
| Far behind us alas lieth the golden age now | B |
| For by philosophers spoiled is our language our logic by poets | C |
| And no more common sense governs our passage through life | D |
| From the aesthetic to which she belongs now virtue is driven | E |
| And into politics forced where she's a troublesome guest | F |
| Where are we hastening now If natural dull we are voted | G |
| And if we put on constraint then the world calls us absurd | H |
| Oh thou joyous artlessness 'mongst the poor maidens of Leipzig | I |
| Witty simplicity come come then to glad us again | J |
| Comedy oh repeat thy weekly visits so precious | K |
| Sigismund lover so sweet Mascarill valet jocose | K |
| Tragedy full of salt and pungency epigrammatic | L |
| And thou minuet step of our old buskin preserved | M |
| Philosophic romance thou mannikin waiting with patience | K |
| When 'gainst the pruner's attack Nature defendeth herself | N |
| Ancient prose oh return so nobly and boldly expressing | A |
| All that thou thinkest and hast thought and what the reader thinks too | O |
| All both in prose and in verse in Germany fast is decaying | A |
| Far behind us alas lieth the golden age now | B |
