To Thaliarchus. I-9 (from The Odes Of Horace) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEEEFDADGEDEFHIH JKDK| You see how our Soracte now is standing | A |
| Hoary with heavy snow and now its weight | B |
| To bear the struggling woods are hardly able | C |
| And with the bitter cold the streams stagnate | B |
| The cold melt thou away oh Thaliarchus | D |
| By heaping logs upon thy fire again | E |
| Replenishing and from a Sabine flagon | E |
| Wine of a four years' vintage draw thou then | E |
| Leave to the gods the rest for at the moment | F |
| They felled the winds upon the boiling sea | D |
| That battled fiercely then there was not stirring | A |
| Or mountain ash or ancient cypress tree | D |
| Cease thou to ask what is to be to morrow | G |
| The day that Fortune gives score thou as gain | E |
| As when a boy thou shalt not scorn love's sweetness | D |
| Nor smoothly moving dancers shalt disdain | E |
| While crabbed age from thy fresh youth is distant | F |
| Now in the Field and in the Public Square | H |
| All the soft whisperings that come at night fall | I |
| Shall at the trysting be repeated there | H |
| Now too the tempting laugh from a far corner | J |
| That must the maiden lurking there betray | K |
| Also the pledge that she in feigned resistance | D |
| Lets from her arm or hand be taken away | K |
