Hymn Of Hippolytus To Artemis Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDDEFGGGGHHIHI IIIJJKK| Artemis thou fairest | A |
| Of the maids that be | B |
| In divine Olympus | C |
| Hail Hail to thee | B |
| To thee I bring this woven weed | D |
| Culled for thee from a virgin mead | D |
| Where neither shepherd claims his flocks to feed | D |
| Nor ever yet the mower's scythe hath come | E |
| There in the Spring the wild bee hath his home | F |
| Lightly passing to and fro | G |
| Where the virgin flowers grow | G |
| And there the watchful Purity doth go | G |
| Moistening with dew drops all the ground below | G |
| Drawn from a river untaintedly flowing | H |
| They who have gained by a kind fate's bestowing | H |
| Pure hearts untaught by philosophy's care | I |
| May gather the flowers in the mead that are blowing | H |
| But the tainted in spirit may never be there | I |
| - | |
| Now O Divinest eternally fair | I |
| Take thou this garland to gather thy hair | I |
| Brought by a hand that is pure as the air | I |
| For I alone of all the sons of men | J |
| Hear thy pure accents answering thee again | J |
| And may I reach the goal of life as I began the race | K |
| Blest by the music of thy voice though darkness ever veil thy face | K |
