A Man Young And Old:- The Friends Of His Youth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIH JK FLMNM| Laughter not time destroyed my voice | A |
| And put that crack in it | B |
| And when the moon's pot bellied | C |
| I get a laughing fit | B |
| For that old Madge comes down the lane | D |
| A stone upon her breast | E |
| And a cloak wrapped about the stone | F |
| And she can get no rest | E |
| With singing hush and hush a bye | G |
| She that has been wild | H |
| And barren as a breaking wave | I |
| Thinks that the stone's a child | H |
| - | |
| And Peter that had great affairs | J |
| And was a pushing man | K |
| Shrieks 'I am King of the Peacocks ' | - |
| And perches on a stone | F |
| And then I laugh till tears run down | L |
| And the heart thumps at my side | M |
| Remembering that her shriek was love | N |
| And that he shrieks from pride | M |
