Lines In A Flyleaf Of 'christabel' Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHHIJK| Inhospitably hast thou entertained | A |
| O Poet us the bidden to thy board | B |
| Whom in mid feast and while our thousand mouths | C |
| Are one laudation of the festal cheer | D |
| Thou from thy table dost dismiss unfilled | E |
| Yet loudlier thee than many a lavish host | F |
| We praise and oftener thy repast half served | G |
| Than many a stintless banquet prodigally | H |
| Through satiate hours prolonged nor praise less well | H |
| Because with tongues thou hast not cloyed and lips | I |
| That mourn the parsimony of affluent souls | J |
| And mix the lamentation with the laud | K |
