Flirt And Phil Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDB EEFGGF HHBIIB| A wit by learning well refined | A |
| A beau but of the rural kind | A |
| To Sylvia made pretences | B |
| They both profess'd an equal love | C |
| Yet hoped by different means to move | D |
| Her judgement of her senses | B |
| - | |
| Young sprightly Flirt of blooming mien | E |
| Watch'd the best minutes to be seen | E |
| Went when his glass advised him | F |
| While meagre Phil of brooks inquired | G |
| A wight for wit and and parts admired | G |
| And witty ladies prized him | F |
| - | |
| Sylvia had wit had spirits too | H |
| To hear the one the other view | H |
| Suspended held the scales | B |
| Her wit her youth too claim'd its share | I |
| Let none the preference declare | I |
| But turn up heads or tails | B |
