Don Quixote. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Behind thy pasteboard on thy battered hack | A |
| Thy lean cheek striped with plaster to and fro | B |
| Thy long spear levelled at the unseen foe | B |
| And doubtful Sancho trudging at thy back | A |
| Thou wert a figure strange enough good lack | A |
| To make Wiseacredom both high and low | B |
| Rub purblind eyes and having watched thee go | B |
| Dispatch its Dogberrys upon thy track | A |
| Alas poor Knight Alas poor soul possest | C |
| Yet would to day when Courtesy grows chill | D |
| And life's fine loyalties are turned to jest | C |
| Some fire of thine might burn within us still | D |
| Ah would but one might lay his lance in rest | C |
| And charge in earnest were it but a mill | D |
