To Shakespeare Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACBA ADEAEDMost tuneful singer lover tenderest | A |
Most sad most piteous and most musical | B |
Thine is the shrine more pilgrim worn than all | C |
The shrines of singers high above the rest | A |
Thy trumpet sounds most loud most manifest | A |
Yet better were it if a lonely call | C |
Of woodland birds a song a madrigal | B |
Were all the jetsam of thy sea's unrest | A |
- | |
For now thy praises have become too loud | A |
On vulgar lips and every yelping cur | D |
Yaps thee a paean the whiles little men | E |
Not tall enough to worship in a crowd | A |
Spit their small wits at thee Ah better then | E |
The broken shrine the lonely worshipper | D |
