Honour Dishonoured Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBCBA DBDBBB| Honoured I lived e'erwhile with honoured men | A |
| In opulent state My table nightly spread | B |
| Found guests of worth peer priest and citizen | C |
| And poet crowned and beauty garlanded | B |
| Nor these alone for hunger too I fed | B |
| And many a lean tramp and sad Magdalen | C |
| Passed from my doors less hard for sake of bread | B |
| Whom grudged I ever purse or hand or pen | A |
| - | |
| To night unwelcomed at these gates of woe | D |
| I stand with churls and there is none to greet | B |
| My weariness with smile or courtly show | D |
| Nor though I hunger long to bring me meat | B |
| God what a little accident of gold | B |
| Fences our weakness from the wolves of old | B |
