Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Iv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCDEDEFF| And thus it is The tale I have to tell | A |
| Is such another He who reads shall find | B |
| That which he brings to it of Heaven or Hell | A |
| For his best recompense where much is blind | B |
| A jest book or a sermon or mere wind | B |
| Each as he may for life's least godly mirth | C |
| Is mingled strangely here with fate unkind | B |
| And this is a true story of the Earth | C |
| The passionate heart of youth with its desires | D |
| Is not all noble and some baseness clings | E |
| For ever mixed with its eternal fires | D |
| Else were it single among human things | E |
| And all life's wisdom learns but this last plan | F |
| To jest at tears and weep Man's mirth and Man | F |
