Song -- Rondeau Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFFGGHHBBE| Finish these langours Oh I'm sick | A |
| Of dying airs I know the trick | A |
| Long since I've learn'd to well explain | B |
| Th'unmeaning cant of fire and pain | B |
| And see through all the senseless lies | C |
| Of burning darts from killing eyes | C |
| I'm tir'd with this continual rout | D |
| Of bowing low and leading out | D |
| Finish c | E |
| Finish this tedious dangling trade | F |
| By which so many fools are made | F |
| For fools they are whom you can please | G |
| By such affected airs as these | G |
| At opera near my box to stand | H |
| And slyly press the given hand | H |
| Thus may you wait whole years in vain | B |
| But sure you would were you in pain | B |
| Finish c | E |
