A Silly Sylvan, Kissing Heav'n-born Fire Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCAA| A silly sylvan kissing heav'n born fire | A |
| Scorched his lips for his so fond desire | A |
| I not so fond but gaz'd whilst such fire burned | B |
| And all my heart straight into flames was turned | B |
| The sylvan justly suffer'd for his kiss | C |
| His fire was stol'n and stol'n things go amiss | C |
| But I alas unjstly for to have her | A |
| Her heav'nly fire the gods and graces gave her | A |
