Careless Philosopher's Soliloquy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDEF GGHH AA| I rise when I please when I please I lie down | A |
| Nor seek what I care not a rush for renown | A |
| The rattle called wealth I have learnt to despise | B |
| Nor aim to be either important or wise | B |
| - | |
| Let women children children like men | C |
| Pursue the false trollop the world has called fame | D |
| Who just as enjoyed is instantly flown | E |
| And leaves disappointment the hag in her room | F |
| - | |
| If the world is content not to stand in my way | G |
| The world may jog on both by night and by day | G |
| Unimpeded by me not a straw will I put | H |
| Where a dear fellow creature uplifteth its foot | H |
| - | |
| While my conscience upbraids not I'll rise and lye down | A |
| Nor envy a monarch His cares and His crown | A |
