On The Five Senses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEFGGHHIIJJKKAAL LMMAANN| All of us in one you'll find Brethren of a wondrous kind | A |
| Yet among us all no brother | B |
| Knows one tittle of the other | B |
| We in frequent councils are | C |
| And our marks of things declare | D |
| Where to us unknown a clerk | E |
| Sits and takes them in the dark | F |
| He's the register of all | G |
| In our ken both great and small | G |
| By us forms his laws and rules | H |
| He's our master we his tools | H |
| Yet we can with greatest ease | I |
| Turn and wind him where we please | I |
| One of us alone can sleep | J |
| Yet no watch the rest will keep | J |
| But the moment that he closes | K |
| Every brother else reposes | K |
| If wine's brought or victuals drest | A |
| One enjoys them for the rest | A |
| Pierce us all with wounding steel | L |
| One for all of us will feel | L |
| Though ten thousand cannons roar | M |
| Add to them ten thousand more | M |
| Yet but one of us is found | A |
| Who regards the dreadful sound | A |
| Do what is not fit to tell | N |
| There's but one of us can smell | N |
