To A Friend Whose Work Has Come To Nothing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHGHFIFI| Now all the truth is out | A |
| Be secret and take defeat | B |
| From any brazen throat | C |
| For how can you compete | B |
| Being honour bred with one | D |
| Who were it proved he lies | E |
| Were neither shamed in his own | F |
| Nor in his neighbours' eyes | E |
| Bred to a harder thing | G |
| Than Triumph turn away | H |
| And like a laughing string | G |
| Whereon mad fingers play | H |
| Amid a place of stone | F |
| Be secret and exult | I |
| Because of all things known | F |
| That is most difficult | I |
