Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Iii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCDEDEFF| A little honey Ay a little sweet | A |
| A little pleasure when the years were young | B |
| A joyous measure trod by dancing feet | A |
| A tale of folly told by a loved tongue | B |
| These are the things by which our hearts are wrung | B |
| More than by tears Oh I would rather laugh | C |
| So I had not to choose such tales among | B |
| Which was most laughable Man's nobler half | C |
| Resents mere sorrow I would rather sit | D |
| With just the common crowd that watch the play | E |
| And mock at harlequin and the clown's wit | D |
| And call it tragedy and go my way | E |
| I should not err because the tragic part | F |
| Lay not in these but sealed in my own heart | F |
