The Rake's Progress Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGDHHIHJKHHLHDH MH

I borrow De Quincey's ConfessionsA
of an Opium Eater the aforementionedB
an account of that singularC
Oriental viceD
whereupon misplacing the volumeE
in transitF
from the checkpoint I attemptG
to capsulizeD
the book's misadventures only toH
suffer taciturnityH
on the part of the staff untilI
the duplicityH
of a continued numbers game inJ
Chinese wearingK
thin and with lassitude similar toH
the opium habitH
the Chief Librarian a girl herselfL
of Eastern domesticityH
greets my queries with hushed tonesD
and solemnity akin toH
a leering Siamese or bedriddenM
Cheshire catH
