Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDAAEE

What is our life A play of passionA
Our mirth the music of divisionA
Our mother's wombs the tiring houses beB
Where we are dressed for this short comedyB
Heaven the judicious sharp spectator isC
That sits and marks still who doth act amissD
Our graves that hide us from the setting sunA
Are like drawn curtains when the play is doneA
Thus march we playing to our latest restE
Only we die in earnest that's no jestE

Sir Walter Raleigh
