The False Laurel And The True Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABACDBDEDC| 'What art thou Presumptuous who profanest | A |
| The wreath to mighty poets only due | A |
| Even whilst like a forgotten moon thou wanest | A |
| Touch not those leaves which for the eternal few | A |
| Who wander o'er the Paradise of fame | B |
| In sacred dedication ever grew | A |
| One of the crowd thou art without a name ' | C |
| 'Ah friend 'tis the false laurel that I wear | D |
| Bright though it seem it is not the same | B |
| As that which bound Milton s immortal hair | D |
| Its dew is poison and the hopes that quicken | E |
| Under its chilling shade though seeming fair | D |
| Are flowers which die almost before they sicken ' | C |
