At Madame Tussaud's Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAA CCADE FDEG| I STOOD in that strange show the other day | A |
| On Baker Street where all the famous men | B |
| Fair dames and murderers come to life again | B |
| With clockwork breast and face of mimic clay | A |
| To scare the young Thrice in the long display | A |
| - | |
| Blundering I thought wax flesh then with surprise | C |
| At being deceived I turned with cautious eyes | C |
| And took for wax all those that thronged my way | A |
| So in this age methinks when in the light | D |
| Of fuller knowledge forms that men have reared | E |
| - | |
| And worshipped turn to dust too hasty youths | F |
| Shunning the whirlpool jaws of credulous sight | D |
| Rush towards a Scylla far more to be feared | E |
| And take for shadows all too living truths | G |
