Fame Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| FAME is a fickle jade at best | A |
| And he who seeks to win her smile | B |
| Must trudge disdaining play or rest | A |
| O'er many a long and weary mile | B |
| - | |
| Nor must he work alone for her | C |
| Nor labor only for her cheers | D |
| For doing this it may occur | C |
| That he shall only reap her sneers | D |
| - | |
| But when he's ceased to care for self | E |
| And is content to work and wait | F |
| For something better far than pelf | E |
| Fame welcomes him among the great | F |
