Myrtis Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDDEBFGBHBDDIJKD| Friends whom she lookt at blandly from her couch | A |
| And her white wrist above it gem bedewed | B |
| Were arguing with Pentheusa she had heard | B |
| Report of Creon's death whom years before | C |
| She listened to well pleas'd and sighs arose | D |
| For sighs full often fondle with reproofs | D |
| And will be fondled by them When I came | E |
| After the rest to visit her she said | B |
| 'Myrtis how kind Who better knows than thou | F |
| The pangs of love and my first love was he ' | G |
| Tell me if ever Eros are reveal'd | B |
| Thy secrets to the earth have they been true | H |
| To any love who speak about the first | B |
| What shall these holier lights like twinkling stars | D |
| In the few hours assign'd them change their place | D |
| And when comes ampler splendour disappear | I |
| Idler I am and pardon not reply | J |
| Implore from thee thus questioned well I know | K |
| Thou strikest like Olympian Jove but once | D |
