Let Us Be Drunk Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBA AABC AABBAC| Let us be drunk and for a while forget | A |
| Forget and ceasing even from regret | A |
| Live without reason and despite of rhyme | B |
| As in a dream preposterous and sublime | B |
| Where place and hour and means for once are met | A |
| - | |
| Where is the use of effort Love and debt | A |
| And disappointment have us in a net | A |
| Let us break out and taste the morning prime | B |
| Let us be drunk | C |
| - | |
| In vain our little hour we strut and fret | A |
| And mouth our wretched parts as for a bet | A |
| We cannot please the tragicaster Time | B |
| To gain the crystal sphere the silver dime | B |
| Where Sympathy sits dimpling on us yet | A |
| Let us be drunk | C |
