Written In A Collection Of Bacchanalian Songs Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCC DDEE FFGG HHIJ| Adieu ye jovial Youths who join | A |
| To plunge old Care in floods of wine | B |
| And as your dazzled eyeballs roll | C |
| Discern him struggling in the bowl | C |
| - | |
| Nor yet is hope so wholly flown | D |
| Nor yet is thought so tedious grown | D |
| But limpid stream and shady tree | E |
| Retain as yet some sweets for me | E |
| - | |
| And see through yonder silent grove | F |
| See yonder does my Daphne rove | F |
| With pride her footsteps I pursue | G |
| And bid your frantic joys adieu | G |
| - | |
| The sole confusion I admire | H |
| Is that my Daphne's eyes inspire | H |
| I scorn the madness you approve | I |
| And value reason next to love | J |
