The Two Lives Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIJ KLML| Now how could I with gold to spare | A |
| Who know the harlot's arms and wine | B |
| Sit in this green field all alone | C |
| If Nature was not truly mine | B |
| - | |
| That Pleasure life wakes stale at morn | D |
| From heavy sleep that no rest brings | E |
| This life of quiet joy wakes fresh | F |
| And claps its wings at morn and sings | E |
| - | |
| So here sit I alone till noon | G |
| In one long dream of quiet bliss | H |
| I hear the lark and share his joy | I |
| With no more winedrops than were his | J |
| - | |
| Such Nature is thy charm and power | K |
| Since I have made the Muse my wife | L |
| To keep me from the harlot's arms | M |
| And save me from a drunkard's life | L |
