An Enigma Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACBDDBDEEBFG| Seldom we find says Solomon Don Dunce | A |
| Half an idea in the profoundest sonnet | B |
| Through all the flimsy things we see at once | A |
| As easily as through a Naples bonnet | C |
| Trash of all trash how can a lady don it | B |
| Yet heavier far than your Petrarchan stuff | D |
| Owl downy nonsense that the faintest puff | D |
| Twirls into trunk paper the while you con it | B |
| And veritably Sol is right enough | D |
| The general tuckermanities are arrant | E |
| Bubbles ephemeral and so transparent | E |
| But this is now you may depend upon it | B |
| Stable opaque immortal all by dint | F |
| Of the dear names that lie concealed within't | G |
