At The Abbey Theatre Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCBCDEDEFGGGHH| Imitated from Ronsard | A |
| - | |
| Dear Craoibhin Aoibhin look into our case | B |
| When we are high and airy hundreds say | C |
| That if we hold that flight they'll leave the place | B |
| While those same hundreds mock another day | C |
| Because we have made our art of common things | D |
| So bitterly you'd dream they longed to look | E |
| All their lives through into some drift of wings | D |
| You've dandled them and fed them from the book | E |
| And know them to the bone impart to us | F |
| We'll keep the secret a new trick to please | G |
| Is there a bridle for this Proteus | G |
| That turns and changes like his draughty seas | G |
| Or is there none most popular of men | H |
| But when they mock us that we mock again | H |
