A Parody Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEE FFGGHIEE| When first Philander first I came | A |
| Where Avon rolls his winding stream | B |
| The nymphs how brisk the swains how gay | C |
| To see Asteria queen of May | C |
| The parsons round her praises sung | D |
| The steeples with her praises rung | D |
| I thought no sight that e'er was seen | E |
| Could match the sight of Barel's Green | E |
| - | |
| But now since old Eugenio died | F |
| The chief of poets and the pride | F |
| Now meaner bards in vain aspire | G |
| To raise their voice to tune their lyre | G |
| Their lovely season now is o'er | H |
| Thy notes Florelio please no more | I |
| Nor more Asteria's smiles are seen | E |
| Adieu the sweets of Barel's Green | E |
