On Violet's Wafers, Sent Me When I Was Ill Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDBB E| Fine tissued as her finger tips and white | A |
| As all her thoughts in shape like shields of prize | B |
| As if before young Violet's dreaming eyes | B |
| Still blazed the two great Theban bucklers bright | A |
| That swayed the random of that furious fight | A |
| Where Palamon and Arcite made assize | B |
| For Emily fresh crisp as her replies | B |
| That not with sting but pith do oft invite | A |
| More trial of the tongue simple like her | C |
| Well fitting lowlihood yet fine as well | D |
| The queen's no finer rich though gossamer | C |
| In help to him they came to which may tell | D |
| How rich that him SHE'LL come to thus men see | B |
| Like Violet's self e'en Violet's wafers be | B |
