We Talk Of Taxes... Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCCCCCWe talk of taxes and I call you friend | A |
Well such you are but well enough we know | B |
How thick about us root how rankly grow | B |
Those subtle weeds no man has need to tend | A |
That flourish through neglect and soon must send | A |
Perfume too sweet upon us and overthrow | B |
Our steady senses how such matters go | B |
We are aware and how such matters end | A |
Yet shall be told no meagre passion here | C |
With lovers such as we forevermore | C |
Isolde drinks the draught and Guinevere | C |
Receives the Table's ruin through her door | C |
Francesca with the loud surf at her ear | C |
Lets fall the coloured book upon the floor | C |
