Ye That Do Live In Pleasures Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEAEA

Ye that do live in pleasures plentyA
and dwell in Music's sweetest AirsB
whose eyes are quick whose ears are daintyA
not clogg'd with earth or worldly caresB
come sing this song made in Amphion's praiseC
who now is dead yet you his fame can raiseC
-
Call him again let him not dieD
but live in Music's sweetest breathE
place him in fairest memoryA
and let him triumph over deathE
O sweetly sung his living wish attend yeA
These were his words 'The mirth of heav'n God send ye '-
