To Edward Fitzgerald Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABCCBDDDDDD

I chanced upon a new book yesterdayA
I opened it and where my finger layA
'Twixt page and uncut page these words I readB
Some six or seven at most and learned therebyC
That you Fitzgerald whom by ear and eyeC
She never knew thanked God my wife was deadB
Aye dead and were yourself alive good FitzD
How to return you thanks would task my witsD
Kicking you seems the common lot of cursD
While more appropriate greeting lends you graceD
Surely to spit there glorifies your faceD
Spitting from lips once sanctified by hersD
