The Mock Self Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBADEFDEF| Few friends are mine though many wights there be | A |
| Who meeting oft a phantasm that makes claim | B |
| To be myself and hath my face and name | B |
| And whose thin fraud I wink at privily | C |
| Account this light impostor very me | A |
| What boots it undeceive them and proclaim | B |
| Myself myself and whelm this cheat with shame | B |
| I care not so he leave my true self free | A |
| Impose not on me also but alas | D |
| I too at fault bewildered sometimes take | E |
| Him for myself and far from mine own sight | F |
| Torpid indifferent doth mine own self pass | D |
| And yet anon leaps suddenly awake | E |
| And spurns the gibbering mime into the night | F |
