Youth's Agitations Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HH| When I shall be divorced some ten years hence | A |
| From this poor present self which I am now | B |
| When youth has done its tedious vain expense | A |
| Of passions that for ever ebb and flow | C |
| - | |
| Shall I not joy youth's heats are left behind | D |
| And breathe more happy in an even clime | E |
| Ah no for then I shall begin to find | D |
| A thousand virtues in this hated time | E |
| - | |
| Then I shall wish its agitations back | F |
| And all its thwarting currents of desire | G |
| Then I shall praise the heat which then I lack | F |
| And call this hurrying fever generous fire | G |
| - | |
| And sigh that one thing only has been lent | H |
| To youth and age in common discontent | H |
