To A Critic Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBBBBCDDCDC| Song hath a catalogue of lovely things | A |
| Thy kind hath oft defiled whose spite misleads | B |
| The world too often where the poet reads | B |
| As in a fable of old envyings | B |
| Crows such as thou which hush the bird that sings | B |
| Or kill it with their cawings thorns and weeds | B |
| Such as thyself 'midst which the wind sows seeds | B |
| Of flow'rs these crush before one blossom swings | B |
| But here and there the wisdom of a School | C |
| Unknown to these hath often written down | D |
| Fame in white ink the future hath turned brown | D |
| When every beauty heaped with ridicule | C |
| In their ignoble prose proved their renown | D |
| Making each famous as an ass or fool | C |
