The Triple Fool Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCDEDEFG AAHIHJKJLBB| I am two fools I know | A |
| For loving and for saying so | A |
| In whining poetry | B |
| But where's that wiseman that would not be I | C |
| If she would not deny | C |
| Then as th' earths inward narrow crooked lanes | D |
| Do purge sea waters fretful salt away | E |
| I thought if I could draw my pains | D |
| Through rhymes vexation I should them allay | E |
| Grief brought to numbers cannot be so fierce | F |
| For he tames it that fetters it in verse | G |
| - | |
| But when I have done so | A |
| Some man his art and voice to show | A |
| Doth set and sing my pain | H |
| And by delighting many frees again | I |
| Grief which verse did restrain | H |
| To Love and Grief tribute of verse belongs | J |
| But not of such as pleases when 'tis read | K |
| Both are increased by such songs | J |
| For both their triumphs so are published | L |
| And I which was two fooles do so grow three | B |
| Who are a little wise the best fools be | B |
