Apparition Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDBBCEADEAD| Thin legged thin chested slight unspeakably | A |
| Neat footed and weak fingered in his face | B |
| Lean large boned curved of beak and touched with race | B |
| Bold lipped rich tinted mutable as the sea | C |
| The brown eyes radiant with vivacity | D |
| There shines a brilliant and romantic grace | B |
| A spirit intense and rare with trace on trace | B |
| Of passion and impudence and energy | C |
| Valiant in velvet light in ragged luck | E |
| Most vain most generous sternly critical | A |
| Buffoon and poet lover and sensualist | D |
| A deal of Ariel just a streak of Puck | E |
| Much Antony of Hamlet most of all | A |
| And something of the Shorter Catechist | D |
