My Most Distinguished Guest And Learned Friend Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGGMy most Distinguished Guest and Learned Friend | A |
The pallid hare that runs before the day | B |
Having brought your earnest counsels to an end | A |
Now have I somewhat of my own to say | B |
That it is folly to be sunk in love | C |
And madness plain to make the matter known | D |
There are no mysteries you are verger of | C |
Everyman's wisdoms these are and my own | D |
If I have flung my heart unto a hound | E |
I have done ill it is a certain thing | F |
Yet breathe I freer walk I the more sound | E |
On my sick bones for this brave reasoning | F |
Soon must I say 'Tis prowling Death I hear | G |
Yet come no better off for my quick ear | G |
