Tadium Vita Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCEDE| TO stab my youth with desperate knives to wear | A |
| This paltry age's gaudy livery | B |
| To let each base hand filch my treasury | B |
| To mesh my soul within a woman's hair | A |
| And be mere Fortune's lackeyed groom I swear | A |
| I love it not these things are less to me | B |
| Than the thin foam that frets upon the sea | B |
| Less than the thistle down of summer air | A |
| Which hath no seed better to stand aloof | C |
| Far from these slanderous fools who mock my life | D |
| Knowing me not better the lowliest roof | C |
| Fit for the meanest hind to sojourn in | E |
| Than to go back to that hoarse cave of strife | D |
| Where my white soul first kissed the mouth of sin | E |
