Kisses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABBAACCDDEEFFAA| Cupid if storying legends tell aright | A |
| Once framed a rich elixer of delight | A |
| A chalice o'er love kindled flames he fixed | A |
| And in it nectar and ambrosia mixed | A |
| With these the magic dews which evening brings | B |
| Brushed from the Idalian star by fairy wings | B |
| Each tender pledge of sacred faith he joined | A |
| Each gentler pleasure of th' unspotted mind | A |
| Day dreams whose tints with sportive brightness glow | C |
| And hope the blameless parasite of woe | C |
| The eyeless chemist heard the process rise | D |
| The steamy chalice bubbled up in sighs | D |
| Sweet sounds transpired as when the enamoured dove | E |
| Pours the soft murmuring of responsive love | E |
| The finished work might envy vainly blame | F |
| And 'kisses' was the precious compound's name | F |
| With half the god his Cyprian mother blest | A |
| And breathed on Sara's lovelier lips the rest | A |
