Iago Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJFCKLMNOIPG QRSITUAARVWD| A dark lean face a narrow slanting eye | A |
| Whose deeps of blackness one pale taper's beam | B |
| Haunts with a fitting madness of desire | C |
| A heart whose cinder at the breath of passion | D |
| Glows to a momentary core of heat | E |
| Almost beyond indifference to endure | F |
| So parched Iago frets his life away | G |
| His scorn works ever in a brain whose wit | H |
| This world hath fools too many and gross to seek | I |
| Ever to live incredibly alone | J |
| Masked shivering deadly with a simple Moor | F |
| Of idiot gravity and one pale flower | C |
| Whose chill would quench in everlasting peace | K |
| His soul's unmeasured flame O paradox | L |
| Might he but learn the trick to wear her heart | M |
| One fragile hour of heedless innocence | N |
| And then farewell and the incessant grave | O |
| O fool O villain 'tis the shuttlecock | I |
| Wit never leaves at rest It is his fate | P |
| To be a needle in a world of hay | G |
| Where honour is the flattery of the fool | Q |
| Sin a tame bauble lies a tiresome jest | R |
| Virtue a silly whitewashed block of wood | S |
| For words to fell Ah but the secret lacking | I |
| The secret of the child the bird the night | T |
| Faded flouted bespattered in days so far | U |
| Hate cannot bitter them nor wrath deny | A |
| Else were this Desdemona Why | A |
| Woman a harlot is and life a nest | R |
| Fouled by long ages of forked fools And God | V |
| Iago deals not with a tale so dull | W |
| To have made the world Fie on thee Artisan | D |
