The Burial Of Moliere Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACDA EFGGGF| Dead he is dead The rouge has left a trace | A |
| On that thin cheek where shone perchance a tear | B |
| Even while the people laughed that held him dear | C |
| But yesterday He died and not in grace | A |
| And many a black robed caitiff starts apace | A |
| To slander him whose Tartuffe made them fear | C |
| And gold must win a passage for his bier | D |
| And bribe the crowd that guards his resting place | A |
| - | |
| Ah Moliere for that last time of all | E |
| Man's hatred broke upon thee and went by | F |
| And did but make more fair thy funeral | G |
| Though in the dark they hid thee stealthily | G |
| Thy coffin had the cope of night for pall | G |
| For torch the stars along the windy sky | F |
