Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Lv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDDDDBDBDD| We stayed at Lyons three days only three | A |
| In Esther's world of wonder and renown | B |
| She glorious star each night immortally | C |
| Playing her Manons to the listening town | B |
| I glorious too but in Love's firmament | D |
| Watching her face by which alone I moved | D |
| A shadow near her raptured and intent | D |
| And seeking still the signs that I was loved | D |
| Thrice happy days Thrice blessed tragedy | D |
| Her Des Grieux was I her lover lorn | B |
| Bound to her fortunes blest to live or die | D |
| And faithful ever though to faith forsworn | B |
| Waiting behind the scenes in that stage land | D |
| To greet her exits and to squeeze her hand | D |
