To An Importunate Ghost Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDEF| Get gone thou most uncomfortable ghost | A |
| Thou really dost annoy me with thy thin | B |
| Impalpable transparency of grin | B |
| And the vague shadowy shape of thee almost | A |
| Hath vext me beyond boundary and coast | A |
| Of my broad patience Stay thy chattering chin | B |
| And reel the tauntings of thy vain tongue in | B |
| Nor tempt me further with thy vaporish boast | A |
| That I am helpless to combat thee Well | C |
| Have at thee then Yet if a doom most dire | D |
| Thou wouldst escape flee whilst thou canst Revile | E |
| Me not Miasmic Mist Rank Air retire | D |
| One instant longer an thou haunt'st me I'll | E |
| Inhale thee O thou wraith despicable | F |
