Caput Mortuum Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CCDDEE| Not even if with a wizard force I might | A |
| Have summoned whomsoever I would name | B |
| Should anyone else have come than he who came | B |
| Uncalled to share with me my fire that night | A |
| For though I should have said that all was right | A |
| Or right enough nothing had been the same | B |
| As when I found him there before the flame | B |
| Always a welcome and a useful sight | A |
| - | |
| Unfailing and exuberant all the time | C |
| Having no gold he paid with golden rhyme | C |
| Of older coinage than his old defeat | D |
| A debt that like himself was obsolete | D |
| In Art's long hazard where no man may choose | E |
| Whether he play to win or toil to lose | E |
