An Imitation Of Anacreon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCDDCCEE| PAINTER in Paphos and Cythera famed | A |
| Depict I pray the absent Iris' face | B |
| Thou hast not seen the lovely nymph I've named | A |
| The better for thy peace Then will I trace | B |
| For thy instruction her transcendent grace | B |
| Begin with lily white and blushing rose | C |
| Take then the Loves and Graces But what good | D |
| Words idle words for Beauty's Goddess could | D |
| By Iris be replaced nor one suppose | C |
| The secret fraud their grace so equal shows | C |
| Thou at Cythera couldst at Paphos too | E |
| Of the same Iris Venus form anew | E |
