Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Vii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHH| I had made my round as yet with little gain | A |
| Of undiscovered good in that gay place | B |
| I had sought my share of pleasure but in vain | A |
| Laughter was not for me and hid her face | B |
| I had asked for mirth The oracles were dumb | C |
| No sound of Folly with her tinkling feet | D |
| Had bid my own feet follow and no home | E |
| Was mine for merriment or musings sweet | D |
| I had ceased to hope and almost ceased to seek | F |
| When from the farthest booth of all the bray | G |
| Of brass and drums and fiddling and the shriek | F |
| Of a dwarf's voice invited me to stay | G |
| The crowd as scenting some more mirthful thing | H |
| Surged round that booth agape and wondering | H |
