Lucius Atherton Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHCIJKLMHNOPQR| When my moustache curled | A |
| And my hair was black | B |
| And I wore tight trousers | C |
| And a diamond stud | D |
| I was an excellent knave of hearts and took many a trick | E |
| But when the gray hairs began to appear | F |
| Lo a new generation of girls | G |
| Laughed at me not fearing me | H |
| And I had no more exciting adventures | C |
| Wherein I was all but shot for a heartless devil | I |
| But only drabby affairs warmed over affairs | J |
| Of other days and other men | K |
| And time went on until I lived at | L |
| Mayer's restaurant | M |
| Partaking of short orders a gray untidy | H |
| Toothless discarded rural Don Juan | N |
| There is a mighty shade here who sings | O |
| Of one named Beatrice | P |
| And I see now that the force that made him great | Q |
| Drove me to the dregs of life | R |
