Apelles' Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBBBCCDDEE FF| Cupid and my Campaspe played | A |
| At cards for kisses Cupid paid | A |
| He stakes his quiver bow and arrows | B |
| His mother's doves and team of sparrows | B |
| Loses them too then down he throws | B |
| The coral of his lip the rose | B |
| Growing on's cheek but none knows how | C |
| With these the crystal of his brow | C |
| And then the dimple on his chin | D |
| All these did my Campaspe win | D |
| And last he set her both his eyes | E |
| She won and Cupid blind did rise | E |
| - | |
| O Love has she done this to thee | F |
| What shall alas become of me | F |
