Aurora Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEEED DDDDFDDDG| O happy Tithon if thou know'st thy hap | A |
| And valuest thy wealth as I my want | B |
| Then need'st thou not which ah I grieve to grant | C |
| Repine at Jove lull'd in his leman's lap | A |
| That golden shower in which he did repose | D |
| One dewy drop it stains | E |
| Which thy Aurora rains | E |
| Upon the rural plains | E |
| When from thy bed she passionately goes | D |
| - | |
| Then waken'd with the music of the merles | D |
| She not remembers Memnon when she mourns | D |
| That faithful flame which in her bosom burns | D |
| From crystal conduits throws those liquid pearls | D |
| Sad from thy sight so soon to be removed | F |
| She so her grief delates | D |
| O favour'd by the fates | D |
| Above the happiest states | D |
| Who art of one so worthy well beloved | G |
