Venus' Advice To The Muses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFF| Thus to the Muses spoke the Cyprian Dame | A |
| Adorn my altars and revere my name | A |
| My son shall else assume his potent darts | B |
| Twang goes the bow my girls have at your hearts | B |
| The Muses answer'd Venus We deride | C |
| The Vagrant's malice and his mother's pride | C |
| Send him to nymphs who sleep on Ida's shade | D |
| To the loose dance and wanton masquerade | D |
| Our thoughts are settled and intent our look | E |
| On the instructive verse and moral book | E |
| On female idleness his power relies | F |
| But when he finds us studying hard he flies | F |
