Catullus: Xxxi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCBCCDAD EFEFFGFG| After passing Sirmione April | A |
| - | |
| Sirmio thou dearest dear of strands | B |
| That Neptune strokes in lake and sea | C |
| With what high joy from stranger lands | B |
| Doth thy old friend set foot on thee | C |
| Yea barely seems it true to me | C |
| That no Bithynia holds me now | D |
| But calmly and assuringly | A |
| Around me stretchest homely Thou | D |
| - | |
| Is there a scene more sweet than when | E |
| Our clinging cares are undercast | F |
| And worn by alien moils and men | E |
| The long untrodden sill repassed | F |
| We press the pined for couch at last | F |
| And find a full repayment there | G |
| Then hail sweet Sirmio thou that wast | F |
| And art mine own unrivalled Fair | G |
