Affected Indifference - To The Same; Ode Iv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEFGGDHHIIAJJKKA| Yes you contemn the perjur'd maid | A |
| Who all your favorite hopes betray'd | A |
| Nor though her heart should home return | B |
| Her tuneful tongue it's falsehood mourn | C |
| Her winning eyes your faith implore | D |
| Would you her hand receive again | E |
| Or once dissemble your disdain | F |
| Or listen to the syren's theme | G |
| Or stoop to love since now esteem | G |
| And confidence and friendship is no more | D |
| Yet tell me Phaedra tell me why | H |
| When summoning your pride you try | H |
| To meet her looks with cool neglect | I |
| Or cross her walk with slight respect | I |
| For so is falsehood best repaid | A |
| Whence do your cheeks indignant glow | J |
| Why is your struggling tongue so slow | J |
| What means that darkness on your brow | K |
| As if with all her broken vow | K |
| You meant the fair apostate to upbraid | A |
