On A Similar Character (from The Greek) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG

You give your cheks a rosy stainA
With washes dye your hairB
But paint and washes both are vainA
To give a youthful airB
-
Those wrinkles mock your daily toilC
No labor will efface 'emD
You wear a mask of smoothest oilC
Yet still with ease we trace 'emD
-
An art so fruitless then forsakeE
Which though you much excel inF
You never can contrive to makeE
Old Hecuba young HelenG

William Cowper
