Mature Reflections Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEFE GHGH IEIE| O Love divinest dream of youth | A |
| Thy day of ecstacy is o'er | B |
| My bosom touch'd by time and truth | A |
| Thrills at thy dear deceits no more | C |
| - | |
| Nor thou Ambition e'er again | D |
| With splendour dazzling to betray | E |
| And aspirations fierce and vain | F |
| Shall tempt my steps away away | E |
| - | |
| Alas by stern Experience cleft | G |
| When life's romance is turn'd to sport | H |
| If man hath consolation left | G |
| On this side death 'tis good old port | H |
| - | |
| And thou Advice who glum and chill | I |
| Do'st the third bottle still gainsay | E |
| Smile and partake it if you will | I |
| But if you wont away away | E |
