Shakespeare? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFEFEGG| And what think ye of Shakespeare 'Twas not he | A |
| Of Stratford is the lord of England's lyre | B |
| Ay not the rustic lad whoe'er it be | A |
| Momentous in his doing and desire | C |
| But little Latin and less Greek Ah no | D |
| It was a teeming scholar who enwrought | E |
| The wondrous pages where the wisest go | D |
| For th' culmination of the life of thought | E |
| No jovial actor no mere Shakescene who | F |
| Found it so hard his dear name to indite | E |
| The marvellous pictures of our nature drew | F |
| And limned the universe in his delight | E |
| We do not know the man but 'twas not Will | G |
| Whose hand is on the lyre of England still | G |
