The Shepherd-s Brow, Fronting Forked Lightning, Owns Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCBCCB| The shepherd's brow fronting forked lightning owns | A |
| The horror and the havoc and the glory | B |
| Of it Angels fall they are towers from heaven a story | B |
| Of just majestical and giant groans | A |
| But man we scaffold of score brittle bones | A |
| Who breathe from groundlong babyhood to hoary | B |
| Age gasp whose breath is our memento mori | B |
| What bass is our viol for tragic tones | A |
| He Hand to mouth he lives and voids with shame | C |
| And blazoned in however bold the name | C |
| Man Jack the man is just his mate a hussy | B |
| And I that die these deaths that feed this flame | C |
| That in smooth spoons spy life s masque mirrored tame | C |
| My tempests there my fire and fever fussy | B |
