Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEEWhen Jove lay bless'd in his Alcm na's charms | A |
Three nights in one he press'd her in his arms | A |
The sun lay set and conscious nature strove | B |
To shade her god and to prolong his love | C |
From that auspicious night Alcides came | D |
What less could rise from Jove and such a dame | D |
May this auspicious night with that compare | E |
Nor less the joys nor less the rising heir | E |
He strong as Jove she like Alcm na fair | E |
