The Voice Of The Man Impatient With Visions And Utopias Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIHFJKJFLML| We find your soft Utopias as white | A |
| As new cut bread and dull as life in cells | B |
| O scribes who dare forget how wild we are | C |
| How human breasts adore alarum bells | B |
| You house us in a hive of prigs and saints | D |
| Communal frugal clean and chaste by law | E |
| I'd rather brood in bloody Elsinore | F |
| Or be Lear's fool straw crowned amid the straw | E |
| Promise us all our share in Agincourt | G |
| Say that our clerks shall venture scorns and death | H |
| That future ant hills will not be too good | I |
| For Henry Fifth or Hotspur or Macbeth | H |
| Promise that through to morrow's spirit war | F |
| Man's deathless soul will hack and hew its way | J |
| Each flaunting Caesar climbing to his fate | K |
| Scorning the utmost steps of yesterday | J |
| Never a shallow jester any more | F |
| Let not Jack Falstaff spill the ale in vain | L |
| Let Touchstone set the fashions for the wise | M |
| And Ariel wreak his fancies through the rain | L |
