The Invidious Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BBCCDDEEEEFF| Martial | A |
| - | |
| O Fortune if my prayer of old | B |
| Was ne'er solicitous for gold | B |
| With better grace thou may'st allow | C |
| My suppliant wish that asks it now | C |
| Yet think not Goddess I require it | D |
| For the same end your clowns desire it | D |
| In a well made effectual string | E |
| Fain would I see Lovidio swing | E |
| Hear him from Tyburn's height haranguing | E |
| But such a cur's not worth one's hanging | E |
| Give me O Goddess store of pelf | F |
| And he will tie the knot himself | F |
