Bologna Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDEED| I go from colonnade to colonnade | A |
| In streets that Dante trod and past the towers | B |
| Aslant toward heaven and listen to the hours | B |
| Chimed by the bells of choirs where Dante prayed | A |
| They cease then lo the foot of time seems stayed | A |
| Five hundred years and more I find me bowers | B |
| Where sweet and noble ladies weave them flowers | B |
| For one who reads Boccaccio in the shade | A |
| The cowl d students halt by two and threes | C |
| To hear the voice come thrilling through the trees | C |
| Then tear themselves away to themes more trite | D |
| Anon I mark the diligent hands that turn | E |
| Unlovely parchment scrolls whereby to learn | E |
| The beauty of inexorable right | D |
