Take Not The Gods To Task, For They Are Wise Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACCDEDFGFGHI| Take not the Gods to task for they are wise | A |
| When they refuse no less than when they grant | B |
| Thou canst but know with all thy bursting sighs | A |
| What is thy whim but never what thy want | C |
| Did they to smite thine importunity | C |
| Answer each swift unregulated prayer | D |
| Oh what accurs d trudger woulds thou be | E |
| And what a world of fardels have to bear | D |
| Check thy lament The days will surely come | F |
| Thou wilt regard each crossed or shattered hope | G |
| As now thou dost poor Philip's broken drum | F |
| Or little Rosie's tangled skipping rope | G |
| Confide in Time who will as years expire | H |
| Indulge or else annihilate desire | I |
