The Anonymous Poet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGGYou the choice minions of the proud lipped nine | A |
Who warble at the great Apollo's knee | B |
Why do you laugh at these rude lays of mine | A |
I seek not of your brotherhood to be | B |
I do not play the public swan nor try | C |
To curve my proud neck on your vocal streams | D |
In my own little isle retreated I | C |
Lost myself in my waters and my dreams | D |
Forgetful of the world forgotten too | E |
The cygnet of my own secluded wave | F |
I sing whilst dashing up their silver dew | E |
For joy the petty billows try to rave | F |
There is a still applause in solitude | G |
Fitting alike my merits and my mood | G |
