The Drops Of Nectar Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEAFGAAHIAAA JCKL| WHEN Minerva to give pleasure | A |
| To Prometheus her well loved one | B |
| Brought a brimming bowl of nectar | A |
| From the glorious realms of heaven | B |
| As a blessing for his creatures | C |
| And to pour into their bosoms | C |
| Impulses for arts ennobling | D |
| She with rapid footstep hasten'd | E |
| Fearing Jupiter might see her | A |
| And the golden goblet trembled | F |
| And there fell a few drops from it | G |
| On the verdant plain beneath her | A |
| Then the busy bees flew thither | A |
| Straightway eagerly to drink them | H |
| And the butterfly came quickly | I |
| That he too might find a drop there | A |
| Even the misshapen spider | A |
| Thither crawl'd and suck'd with vigour | A |
| - | |
| To a happy end they tasted | J |
| They and other gentle insects | C |
| For with mortals now divide they | K |
| Art that noblest gift of all | L |
