Caliban On Ariel Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBBDDBEFGEFG| His backward voice is to utter foul speeches and to detract | A |
| The tongue is loosed of that most lying slave | B |
| Whom stripes may move not kindness Listen Lo | C |
| The real god of song Lord Stephano | D |
| That's a brave god if ever god were brave | B |
| And bears celestial liquor but the knave | B |
| A most ridiculous monster howls we know | D |
| From Ariel's lips what springs of poison flow | D |
| The chicken heart blasphemer Hear him rave | B |
| Thou poisonous slave got by the devil himself | E |
| Upon thy wicked dam the witch whose name | F |
| Is darkness and the sun her eyes' offence | G |
| Though hell's hot sewerage breed no loathlier elf | E |
| Men cry not shame upon thee seeing thy shame | F |
| So perfect they but bid thee Hag seed hence | G |
