Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDB EEFB GGDB GGBB| I told my nymph I told her true | A |
| My fields were small my flocks were few | A |
| While faltering accents spoke my fear | B |
| That Flavia might not prove sincere | B |
| - | |
| Of crops destroyed by vernal cold | C |
| And vagrant sheep that left my fold | C |
| Of these she heard yet bore to hear | D |
| And is not Flavia then sincere | B |
| - | |
| How chang'd by fortune's fickle wind | E |
| The friends I loved became unkind | E |
| She heard and shed a generous tear | F |
| And is not Flavia then sincere | B |
| - | |
| How if she deign'd my love to bless | G |
| My Flavia must not hope for fress | G |
| This too she heard and smiled to hear | D |
| And Flavia sure must be sincere | B |
| - | |
| Go shear your flocks ye jovial swains | G |
| Go reap the plenty of your plains | G |
| Despoiled of all which you revere | B |
| I know my Flavia's love sincere | B |
