A Temple To Friendship. (spanish Air.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FGFGHIHJ| A Temple to Friendship said Laura enchanted | A |
| I'll build in this garden the thought is divine | B |
| Her temple was built and she now only wanted | C |
| An image of Friendship to place on the shrine | B |
| She flew to a sculptor who set down before her | D |
| A Friendship the fairest his art could invent | E |
| But so cold and so dull that the youthful adorer | D |
| Saw plainly this was not the idol she meant | E |
| - | |
| Oh never she cried could I think of enshrining | F |
| An image whose looks are so joyless and dim | G |
| But yon little god upon roses reclining | F |
| We'll make if you please Sir a Friendship of him | G |
| So the bargain was struck with the little god laden | H |
| She joyfully flew to her shrine in the grove | I |
| Farewell said the sculptor you're not the first maiden | H |
| Who came but for Friendship and took away Love | J |
