Odes Of Anacreon - Ode Liii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFGHHIIJJKKLL| When I behold the festive train | A |
| Of dancing youth I'm young again | B |
| Memory wakes her magic trance | C |
| And wings me lightly through the dance | C |
| Come Cybeba smiling maid | D |
| Cull the flower and twine the braid | D |
| Bid the blush of summer's rose | E |
| Burn upon my forehead's snows | E |
| And let me while the wild and young | F |
| Trip the mazy dance along | G |
| Fling my heap of years away | H |
| And be as wild as young as they | H |
| Hither haste some cordial soul | I |
| Help to my lips the brimming bowl | I |
| And you shall see this hoary sage | J |
| Forget at once his locks and age | J |
| He still can chant the festive hymn | K |
| He still can kiss the goblet's brim | K |
| As deeply quaff as largely fill | L |
| And play the fool right nobly still | L |
