The Bachelor's Soliloquy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFAGHIJKGLBMNOP QRQSTUVWXYZA2B2C2A| To wed or not to wed that is the question | A |
| Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer | B |
| The bills and house rent of a wedded fortune | A |
| Or to say nit when she proposes | C |
| And by declining cut her To wed to smoke | D |
| No more And have a wife at home to mend | E |
| The holes in socks and shirts | F |
| And underwear and so forth 'Tis a consummation | A |
| Devoutly to be wished To wed for life | G |
| To wed perchance to fight ay there's the rub | H |
| For in that married life what fights may come | I |
| When we have honeymooning ceased | J |
| Must give us pause there's the respect | K |
| That makes the joy of single life | G |
| For who would bear her mother's scornful tongue | L |
| Canned goods for tea the dying furnace fire | B |
| The pangs of sleepless nights when baby cries | M |
| The pain of barking shins upon a chair and | N |
| Closing waists that button down the back | O |
| When he himself might all these troubles shirk | P |
| With a bare refusal Who would bundles bear | Q |
| And grunt and sweat under a shopping load | R |
| Who would samples match buy rats for hair | Q |
| Cart cheese and crackers home to serve at night | S |
| For lunch to feed your friends play pedro | T |
| After tea sing rag time songs amusing | U |
| Friendly neighbors Buy garden tools | V |
| To lend unto the same Stay home at nights | W |
| In smoking coat and slippers and slink to bed | X |
| At ten o'clock to save the light bills | Y |
| Thus duty does make cowards of us all | Z |
| And thus the native hue of matrimony | A2 |
| Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of chores | B2 |
| And thus the gloss of marriage fades away | C2 |
| And loses its attraction | A |
