In Dispraise Of Poetry Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEF

When the King of Siam disliked a courtierA
he gave him a beautiful white elephantB
The miracle beast deserved such ritualC
that to care for him properly meant ruinD
Yet to care for him improperly was worseE
It appears the gift could not be refusedF
