Lucasta Laughing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABBCDEFFFFFGGGGAAA A| Heark how she laughs aloud | A |
| Although the world put on its shrowd | A |
| Wept at by the fantastic crowd | A |
| Who cry one drop let fall | B |
| From her might save the universal ball | B |
| She laughs again | C |
| At our ridiculous pain | D |
| And at our merry misery | E |
| She laughs until she cry | F |
| Sages forbear | F |
| That ill contrived tear | F |
| Although your fear | F |
| Doth barricado hope from your soft ear | F |
| That which still makes her mirth to flow | G |
| Is our sinister handed woe | G |
| Which downwards on its head doth go | G |
| And ere that it is sown doth grow | G |
| This makes her spleen contract | A |
| And her just pleasure feast | A |
| For the unjustest act | A |
| Is still the pleasant'st jest | A |
