Translations. - The Metaphysician. (from Schiller.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDCDEFGG| How far the world lies under me | A |
| Scarce can I see the men below there crawling | B |
| How high it bears me up my lofty calling | B |
| How near the heavenly canopy | A |
| Thus from tower roof where he doth clamber | C |
| Calls out the slater and with him the small big man | D |
| Jack Metaphysicus down in his writing chamber | C |
| Tell me thou little great big man | D |
| The tower whence thou so grandly all things hast inspected | E |
| Of what is it Whereon is it erected | F |
| How cam'st thou up thyself Its heights so smooth and bare | G |
| How serve they thee but thence into the vale to stare | G |
