Francois Villon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCAA ADE F AA AAGGH IA| If I were Francois Villon and Francois Villon I | A |
| What would it matter to me how the time might drag or fly | A |
| He would in sweaty anguish toil the days and night away | B |
| And still not keep the prowling growling howling wolf at bay | B |
| But with my valiant bottle and my frouzy brevet bride | C |
| And my score of loyal cut throats standing guard for me outside | C |
| What worry of the morrow would provoke a casual sigh | A |
| If I were Francois Villon and Francois Villon I | A |
| - | |
| If I were Francois Villon and Francois Villon I | A |
| To yonder gloomy boulevard at midnight I would hie | D |
| 'Stop stranger and deliver your possessions ere you feel | E |
| The mettle of my bludgeon or the temper of my steel ' | - |
| He should give me gold and diamonds his snuffbox and his cane | F |
| 'Now back my boon companions to our brothel with our gain ' | - |
| And back within that brothel how the bottles they would fly | A |
| If I were Francois Villon and Francois Villon I | A |
| - | |
| If I were Francois Villon and Francois Villon I | A |
| We both would mock the gibbet which the law has lifted high | A |
| He in his meager shabby home I in my roaring den | G |
| He with his babes around him I with my hunted men | G |
| His virtue be his bulwark my genius should be mine | H |
| 'Go fetch my pen sweet Margot and a jorum of your wine ' | - |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| So would one vainly plod and one win immortality | I |
| If I were Francois Villon and Francois Villon I | A |
