Against Unworthy Praise Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEDE FGFGHGHIGJ| O heart be at peace because | A |
| Nor knave nor dolt can break | B |
| What's not for their applause | A |
| Being for a woman's sake | B |
| Enough if the work has seemed | C |
| So did she your strength renew | D |
| A dream that a lion had dreamed | C |
| Till the wilderness cried aloud | E |
| A secret between you two | D |
| Between the proud and the proud | E |
| - | |
| What still you would have their praise | F |
| But here's a haughtier text | G |
| The labyrinth of her days | F |
| That her own strangeness perplexed | G |
| And how what her dreaming gave | H |
| Earned slander ingratitude | G |
| From self same dolt and knave | H |
| Aye and worse wrong than these | I |
| Yet she singing upon her road | G |
| Half lion half child is at peace | J |
