When Beauty Is Bald Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCCE FGFHIGIIG JKJJAJAAJ| I've sung of Honor's golden hair | A |
| And Hero's auburn tresses | B |
| Of Bella's back abundance where | A |
| The sun throws his caresses | B |
| I've sung of curl and coil and braid | C |
| On meshes I've dilated | D |
| Until at last I'm sore afraid | C |
| There's nothing re the hair of maid | C |
| That I have left unstated | E |
| - | |
| 'Twill much relieve the constant strain | F |
| Of rhyming to extol her | G |
| When on the roof of Sophie's brain | F |
| Appears a bright cupola | H |
| The poet's verse will freshly run | I |
| Effects will come much faster | G |
| If he may tell the darling one | I |
| Her skull is glowing like the sun | I |
| And smooth as alabaster | G |
| - | |
| New stimulus the singer nerves | J |
| When beauty scorning switches | K |
| Adds to her many swelling curves | J |
| A baldness that bewitches | J |
| We've sung too many wigs I swear | A |
| And now the poet mocks myths | J |
| For Juliet in her head of air | A |
| Outshines the moon and everywhere | A |
| Love really laughs at locksmiths | J |
