You Say, Columbus With His Argosies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBADEDEDE| You say Columbus with his argosies | A |
| Who rash and greedy took the screaming main | B |
| And vanished out before the hurricane | B |
| Into the sunset after merchandise | A |
| Then under western palms with simple eyes | A |
| Trafficked and robbed and triumphed home again | C |
| You say this is the glory of the brain | B |
| And human life no other use than this | A |
| I then do answering say to you The line | D |
| Of wizards and of saviours keeping trust | E |
| In that which made them pensive and divine | D |
| Passes before us like a cloud of dust | E |
| What were they Actors ill and mad with wine | D |
| And all their language babble and disgust | E |
