The Vine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFFGGHHIIJJF FAA| I dream'd this mortal part of mine | A |
| Was Metamorphoz'd to a Vine | A |
| Which crawling one and every way | B |
| Enthrall'd my dainty Lucia | C |
| Me thought her long small legs amp thighs | D |
| I with my Tendrils did surprize | D |
| Her Belly Buttocks and her Waste | E |
| By my soft Nerv'lits were embrac'd | E |
| About her head I writhing hung | F |
| And with rich clusters hid among | F |
| The leaves her temples I behung | F |
| So that my Lucia seem'd to me | G |
| Young Bacchus ravished by his tree | G |
| My curles about her neck did craule | H |
| And armes and hands they did enthrall | H |
| So that she could not freely stir | I |
| All parts there made one prisoner | I |
| But when I crept with leaves to hide | J |
| Those parts which maids keep unespy'd | J |
| Such fleeting pleasures there I took | F |
| That with the fancie I awook | F |
| And found Ah me this flesh of mine | A |
| More like a Stock then like a Vine | A |
