Thou Blind Man's Mark Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CABA BDE BEEThou blind man's mark thou fool's self chosen snare | A |
Fond fancy's scum and dregs of scatter'd thought | B |
Band of all evils cradle of causeless care | A |
Thou web of will whose end is never wrought | B |
- | |
Desire desire I have too dearly bought | C |
With price of mangled mind thy worthless ware | A |
Too long too long asleep thou hast me brought | B |
Who should my mind to higher things prepare | A |
- | |
But yet in vain thou hast my ruin sought | B |
In vain thou madest me to vain things aspire | D |
In vain thou kindlest all thy smoky fire | E |
- | |
For virtue hath this better lesson taught | B |
Within myself to seek my only hire | E |
Desiring nought but how to kill desire | E |
Sir Philip Sidney
