Satiety Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDACCE FGFHGH| I have outlived my life and linger on | A |
| Knowing myself the ghost of one that was | B |
| Come kindly death and let my flesh being grass | C |
| Nourish some beast's sad life when I am gone | D |
| What joy is left in all I look upon | A |
| I cannot sin it wearies me Alas | C |
| I loathe the laggard moments as they pass | C |
| I tire of all but swift oblivion | E |
| - | |
| Yet if all power to taste the dear deceit | F |
| Be not outworn and perished utterly | G |
| If it could be then surely it were sweet | F |
| I go down on my knees and pray O God | H |
| Send me some last illusion ere I be | G |
| A clod perhaps at rest within a clod | H |
