The Five Senses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AA BBCCDDEEFFGGCC AA| Oh why do men their glasses clink | A |
| When good old honest wine they drink | A |
| - | |
| Wine is so excellent a thing | B |
| To lowest subject or to highest king | B |
| That every sense alike should share | C |
| The pleasure that can banish care | C |
| Thus may each merry eye behold | D |
| The sparkle of the red or gold | D |
| Our lips may feel the goblet's edge | E |
| And taste the loving cup we pledge | E |
| While from each foaming glass escape | F |
| The precious perfumes of the grape | F |
| But ah we hear it not and so | G |
| We give the touch that all men know | G |
| And thus do all the senses share | C |
| The pleasure that can banish care | C |
| - | |
| And that is why the glasses clink | A |
| When good old honest wine we drink | A |
