Lxxi The Choice, I Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEEDF| Eat thou and drink to morrow thou shalt die | A |
| Surely the earth that's wise being very old | B |
| Needs not our help Then loose me love and hold | B |
| Thy sultry hair up from my face that I | A |
| May pour for thee this golden wine brim high | A |
| Till round the glass thy fingers glow like gold | B |
| We'll drown all hours thy song while hours are toll'd | B |
| Shall leap as fountains veil the changing sky | A |
| - | |
| Now kiss and think that there are really those | C |
| My own high bosom'd beauty who increase | D |
| Vain gold vain lore and yet might choose our way | E |
| Through many years they toil then on a day | E |
| They die not for their life was death but cease | D |
| And round their narrow lips the mould falls close | F |
