To Julia. In Allusion To Some Illiberal Criticisms Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHIIJJ KKLLAABB| Why let the stingless critic chide | A |
| With all that fume of vacant pride | A |
| Which mantles o'er the pendant fool | B |
| Like vapor on a stagnant pool | B |
| Oh if the song to feeling true | C |
| Can please the elect the sacred few | C |
| Whose souls by Taste and Nature taught | D |
| Thrill with the genuine pulse of thought | D |
| If some fond feeling maid like thee | E |
| The warm eyed child of Sympathy | E |
| Shall say while o'er my simple theme | F |
| She languishes in Passion's dream | F |
| He was indeed a tender soul | G |
| No critic law no chill control | G |
| Should ever freeze by timid art | H |
| The flowings of so fond a heart | H |
| Yes soul of Nature soul of Love | I |
| That hovering like a snow winged dove | I |
| Breathed o'er my cradle warblings wild | J |
| And hailed me Passion's warmest child | J |
| Grant me the tear from Beauty's eye | K |
| From Feeling's breast the votive sigh | K |
| Oh let my song my memory find | L |
| A shrine within the tender mind | L |
| And I will smile when critics chide | A |
| And I will scorn the fume of pride | A |
| Which mantles o'er the pendant fool | B |
| Like vapor round some stagnant pool | B |
