The Hectic Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDF GHGHII| Upon the breezy cliff's impending brow | A |
| With trembling step the Hectic paus'd awhile | B |
| As round his wasted form the sea breeze blew | C |
| His flush'd cheek brighten'd with a transient smile | B |
| - | |
| Refresh'd and cherish'd by its balmy breath | D |
| He dreamt of future bliss of years to come | E |
| Whilst with a look of woe the spectre Death | D |
| Oft shook his head and pointed to his tomb | F |
| - | |
| Such sounds as these escap'd his lab'ring breast | G |
| Sweet Health thou wilt revisit this sad frame | H |
| Slumber shall bid these aching eyelids rest | G |
| And I shall live for love perchance for fame | H |
| Ah poor enthusiast in the day's decline | I |
| A mournful knell was heard and it was thine | I |
