Chorus Of Women Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEFGHGAEIJKBIB| They're always abusing the women | A |
| As a terrible plague to men | B |
| They say we're the root of all evil | C |
| And repeat it again and again | B |
| Of war and quarrels and bloodshed | D |
| All mischief be what it may | E |
| And pray then why do you marry us | F |
| If we're all the plagues you say | E |
| And why do you take such care of us | F |
| And keep us so safe at home | G |
| And are never easy a moment | H |
| If ever we chance to roam | G |
| When you ought to be thanking heaven | A |
| That your Plague is out of the way | E |
| You all keep fussing and fretting | I |
| 'Where is my Plague to day ' | J |
| If a Plague peeps out of the window | K |
| Up go the eyes of men | B |
| If she hides then they all keep staring | I |
| Until she looks out again | B |
Aristophanes
