Julia's Petticoat Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFFGHIIJKLLMM NO| Thy azure robe I did behold | A |
| As airy as the leaves of gold | A |
| Which erring here and wandering there | B |
| Pleas'd with transgression ev'rywhere | B |
| Sometimes 'twould pant and sigh and heave | C |
| As if to stir it scarce had leave | C |
| But having got it thereupon | D |
| 'Twould make a brave expansion | E |
| And pounc'd with stars it showed to me | F |
| Like a celestial canopy | F |
| Sometimes 'twould blaze and then abate | G |
| Like to a flame grown moderate | H |
| Sometimes away 'twould wildly fling | I |
| Then to thy thighs so closely cling | I |
| That some conceit did melt me down | J |
| As lovers fall into a swoon | K |
| And all confus'd I there did lie | L |
| Drown'd in delights but could not die | L |
| That leading cloud I follow'd still | M |
| Hoping t' have seen of it my fill | M |
| But ah I could not should it move | N |
| To life eternal I could love | O |
