This Life Which Seems So Fair Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABACDADDEFF| This Life which seems so fair | A |
| Is like a bubble blown up in the air | A |
| By sporting children's breath | B |
| Who chase it everywhere | A |
| And strive who can most motion it bequeath | C |
| And though it sometimes seem of its own might | D |
| Like to an eye of gold to be fixed there | A |
| And firm to hover in that empty height | D |
| That only is because it is so light | D |
| But in that pomp it doth not long appear | E |
| For when 'tis most admired in a thought | F |
| Because it erst was nought it turns to nought | F |
