O Make Me A Mask Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDDDDDEDE D| O make me a mask and a wall to shut from your spies | A |
| Of the sharp enamelled eyes and the spectacled claws | B |
| Rape and rebellion in the nurseries of my face | C |
| Gag of dumbstruck tree to block from bare enemies | D |
| The bayonet tongue in this undefended prayerpiece | D |
| The present mouth and the sweetly blown trumpet of lies | D |
| Shaped in old armour and oak the countenance of a dunce | D |
| To shield the glistening brain and blunt the examiners | D |
| And a tear stained widower grief drooped from the lashes | D |
| To veil belladonna and let the dry eyes perceive | E |
| Others betray the lamenting lies of their losses | D |
| By the curve of the nude mouth or the laugh up the sleeve | E |
