Love's Reveller. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEDEDDD| Hard have you won her and must hold as fast | A |
| She is Love's reveller those tawny eyes | B |
| Are up and down still in warm passion cast | A |
| And woe betide the soul whom they surprise | B |
| Yet is she yours you deem not for a while | C |
| But have you felt the fiery stress of her | D |
| It is a woman's yet a serpent's smile | C |
| A Cleopatra yields her worshipper | D |
| The cruel sweetness of her beauty lurks | E |
| In all her lovers' ruin none may dare | D |
| To toy with her but love like poison works | E |
| To madness or the sorrow of despair | D |
| And you the Antony of her desire | D |
| Her love is still as a consuming fire | D |
