Idle Blessedness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEEDC| I KNOW not how it is I have the knack | A |
| In lazy moods of seeking no excuse | B |
| But holding that man's ease must be the juice | B |
| Of man's philosophy I give the sack | A |
| To thought and lounge at shuffle on the track | A |
| Of what employment seems of the least use | B |
| And in such ways I find a constant sluice | B |
| For drowzy humours Be thou loth to rack | A |
| And hack thy brain for thought which may lurk there | C |
| Or may not Without pain of thought the eyes | D |
| Can see the ears can hear the sultry mouth | E |
| Can taste the summer's favour Towards the South | E |
| Let earth sway round while this my body lies | D |
| In warmth and has the sun on face and hair | C |
