The Goblet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DEF GHBH IJE HKGALMENNONEP| ONCE I held a well carved brimming goblet | A |
| In my two hands tightly clasp'd I held it | B |
| Eagerly the sweet wine sipp'd I from it | B |
| Seeking there to drown all care and sorrow | C |
| - | |
| Amor enter'd in and found me sitting | D |
| And he gently smiled in modest fashion | E |
| Smiled as though the foolish one he pitied | F |
| - | |
| Friend I know a far more beauteous vessel | G |
| One wherein to sink thy spirit wholly | H |
| Say what wilt thou give me if I grant it | B |
| And with other nectar fill it for thee | H |
| - | |
| Oh how kindly hath he kept his promise | I |
| For to me who long had yearn'd he granted | J |
| Thee my Lida fill'd with soft affection | E |
| - | |
| When I clasp mine arms around thee fondly | H |
| When I drink in love's long hoarded balsam | K |
| From thy darling lips so true so faithful | G |
| Fill'd with bliss thus speak I to my spirit | A |
| No a vessel such as this save Amor | L |
| Never god hath fashion'd or been lord of | M |
| Such a form was ne'er produced by Vulcan | E |
| With his cunning reason gifted hammers | N |
| On the leaf crown'd mountains may Lyaeus | N |
| Bid his Fauns the oldest and the wisest | O |
| Pass the choicest clusters through the winepress | N |
| And himself watch o'er the fermentation | E |
| Such a draught no toil can e'er procure him | P |
