Spleen Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGHICCJK| I'm like the king of a rain country rich | A |
| but sterile young but with an old wolf's itch | A |
| one who escapes F eacute nelon's apologues | B |
| and kills the day in boredom with his dogs | B |
| nothing cheers him darts tennis falconry | C |
| his people dying by the balcony | C |
| the bawdry of the pet hermaphrodite | D |
| no longer gets him through a single night | D |
| his bed of fleur de lys becomes a tomb | E |
| even the ladies of the court for whom | E |
| all kings are beautiful cannot put on | F |
| shameful enough dresses for this skeleton | G |
| the scholar who makes his gold cannot invent | H |
| washes to cleanse the poisoned element | I |
| even in baths of blood Rome's legacy | C |
| our tyrants' solace in senility | C |
| we cannot warm up his shot corpse whose food | J |
| is syrup green Lethean ooze not blood | K |
