Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Xlvi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGHGII| Not so my little sponsor She with eyes | A |
| Proudly unconscious of my fool's display | B |
| Talked volubly to all and scorned disguise | A |
| While Madame Blanche herself no less than they | B |
| Smiled us a welcome and with upraised hands | C |
| Disclaimed excuse and led us straightway through | D |
| To an inner room as to a Conference | E |
| There I first saw to my amazement new | D |
| That fair white mystery a woman's dress | F |
| And heard its language spoken Stuffs were brought | G |
| And cards unrolled before us braids and lace | H |
| Lauded and handled and their merits taught | G |
| To ears that listened and to eyes that saw | I |
| Their secret sense the law within the law | I |
