Odes Of Anacreon - Ode V Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHIJJKK FLMMNN| Sculptor wouldst thou glad my soul | A |
| Grave for me an ample bowl | A |
| Worthy to shine in hall or bower | B |
| When spring time brings the reveller's hour | B |
| Grave it with themes of chaste design | C |
| Fit for a simple board like mine | C |
| Display not there the barbarous rites | D |
| In which religious zeal delights | D |
| Nor any tale of tragic fate | E |
| Which History shudders to relate | E |
| No cull thy fancies from above | F |
| Themes of heaven and themes of love | F |
| Let Bacchus Jove's ambrosial boy | G |
| Distil the grape in drops of joy | G |
| And while he smiles at every tear | H |
| Let warm eyed Venus dancing near | I |
| With spirits of the genial bed | J |
| The dewy herbage deftly tread | J |
| Let Love be there without his arms | K |
| In timid nakedness of charms | K |
| And all the Graces linked with Love | F |
| Stray laughing through the shadowy grove | L |
| While rosy boys disporting round | M |
| In circlets trip the velvet ground | M |
| But ah if there Apollo toys | N |
| I tremble for the rosy boys | N |
