In A Letter To C. P. Esq. Ill With The Rheumatism Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEGrant me the Muse ye gods whose humble flight | A |
Seeks not the mountain top's pernicious height | A |
Who can the tall Parnassian cliff forsake | B |
To visit oft the still Lethean lake | B |
Now her slow pinions brush the silent shore | C |
Now gently skim the unwrinkled waters o'er | D |
There dips her downy plumes thence upward flies | E |
And sheds soft slumbers on her votary's eyes | E |
William Cowper
