Death And The Fool Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCDDEDDE| Here is a tale for any man or woman | A |
| A fool sought Death and braved him with his bauble | B |
| Among the graves At last he heard a hobble | B |
| And something passed him monstrous super human | A |
| And by a tomb that reared a broken column | C |
| He heard it stop And then Gargantuan laughter | D |
| Shattered the hush Deep silence followed after | D |
| Filled with the stir of bones cadaverous solemn | C |
| Then said the fool 'Come show thyself old prancer | D |
| I'll have a bout with thee I too can clatter | D |
| My wand and motley Come now Death and Folly | E |
| See who's the better man ' There was no answer | D |
| Only his bauble broke a serious matter | D |
| To the poor fool who died of melancholy | E |
