Old-fashioned Child. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGCHIJKLC| He was born old they who got him were grey | A |
| And quaint as things that long had seasoned here | B |
| When that he came a too true vintage of | C |
| The lateness of the brewing blood and brain | D |
| Even as in their whims and ways he had | E |
| Existed an imaginary thing | F |
| Twin lived in him and her e'en long before | G |
| They were united in the dream of love | C |
| And therefore comes it that his young life wears | H |
| So old a countenance that he in sooth | I |
| Is so too grown up in his ways and whims | J |
| Unlike the youngling of an early pair | K |
| Who's ta'en the freshness of their favour on | L |
| And is as frisky as the youth of love | C |
