Idea Liii: To The River Ancor Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGHIJ| Clear Ancor on whose silver sanded shore | A |
| My soul shrin'd saint my fair Idea lies | B |
| O blessed brook whose milk white swans adore | A |
| Thy crystal stream refined by her eyes | B |
| Where sweet myrrh breathing Zephyr in the spring | C |
| Gently distills his nectar dropping showers | D |
| Where nightingales in Arden sit and sing | C |
| Amongst the dainty dew impearled flowers | D |
| Say thus fair brook when thou shalt see thy queen | E |
| Lo here thy shepherd spent his wand'ring years | F |
| And in these shades dear nymph he oft hath been | G |
| And here to thee he sacrific'd his tears | H |
| Fair Arden thou my Tempe art alone | I |
| And thou sweet Ancor art my Helicon | J |
