Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Xviii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGHGII| Alas poor Queen of Beauty In my heart | A |
| I could weep for you and your sad graceless doom | B |
| You stand at my life's threshold in the part | A |
| Of king's chief jester in the ante room | B |
| And none more near the throne You made us sport | C |
| According to your folly and passed on | D |
| And now you live with pension in Love's Court | C |
| And privilege to jest and wear the crown | E |
| Yes I could weep for you Your part it was | F |
| To strike the cymbals on a night sublime | G |
| For Love's first bridal dance Alas alas | H |
| Time the avenger of our manhood's prime | G |
| Is gathering all life courtiers to his cell | I |
| And you among the rest So fare you well | I |
