Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Xv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDFGDGDAA| Thus it began with laughter But anon | A |
| The ox eyed queen who had resumed by rote | B |
| The tale of her perfections one by one | A |
| Turned by some ominous chance towards the spot | C |
| Where we two stood And take good note '' said she | D |
| All here is honest beauty flesh and blood | E |
| As any in the world Yet if there be | D |
| A doubt between you let me make it good | F |
| Which of you two will honour me so near | G |
| As to prove the truth '' My cheeks in spite of me | D |
| Flamed in the dark and I was seized with fear | G |
| And a wild doubt lest mine the choice should be | D |
| The little woman on the chair began | A |
| To shout aloud and bid me play the man | A |
