Seamen Three Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABBB CDCDAAA EFEFBBB| Seamen three What men be ye | A |
| Gotham's three wise men we be | A |
| Whither in your bowl so free | A |
| To rake the moon from out the sea | A |
| The bowl goes trim The moon doth shine | B |
| And our ballast is old wine | B |
| And your ballast is old wine | B |
| - | |
| Who art thou so fast adrift | C |
| I am he they call Old Care | D |
| Here on board we will thee lift | C |
| No I may not enter there | D |
| Wherefore so 'Tis Jove's decree | A |
| In a bowl Care may not be | A |
| In a bowl Care may not be | A |
| - | |
| Fear ye not the waves that roll | E |
| No in charmed bowl we swim | F |
| What the charm that floats the bowl | E |
| Water may not pass the brim | F |
| The bowl goes trim The moon doth shine | B |
| And our ballast is old wine | B |
| And your ballast is old wine | B |
