Words Against Lesbia: To Furius And Aurelius Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADEAAAFAAGHAAAIC CJAK

Furius and Aurelius you friends of CatullusA
whether he penetrates farthest IndiaB
where the Eastern waves strike the shoreC
with deep resonanceA
or among the Hyrcanians and supple ArabsA
or Sacians and Parthian bowmenD
or where the seven mouthed NileE
colours the watersA
or whether he ll climb the high AlpsA
viewing great Caesar s monumentsA
the waters of Gallic RhineF
and the furthest fierce BritonsA
whatever the will of the heavensA
brings ready now for anythingG
tell my girl this in a fewH
ill omened wordsA
Let her live and be happy with her adulterersA
hold all three hundred in her embraceA
truly love less wearing them all downI
again and again let her not look forC
my love as beforeC
she whose crime destroyed it like the lastJ
flower of the field touched onceA
by the passing ploughK
