Venetian Epigrams I Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKL| Sarcophagi urns were all covered with lifelike scenes | A |
| fauns dancing with girls from a Bacchanalian choir | B |
| paired off goat footed creatures puffing their cheeks | C |
| forcing ear splitting notes from the blaring horns | D |
| Cymbals and drumbeats the marble is seen and is heard | E |
| How delightful the fruit in the beaks of fluttering birds | F |
| No startling noise can scare them or scare away love | G |
| Amor whose torch waves more gladly in this happy throng | H |
| So fullness overcomes death and the ashes within | I |
| seem still in their silent house to feel love s delight | J |
| So may the Poet s sarcophagus be adorned | K |
| with this book the writer has filled with the beauty of life | L |
