The Moralists Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA DEFEDF| You would extend the mind beyond the act | A |
| Furious bending suffering in thin | B |
| And unpoetic dicta you have been | B |
| Forced by hypothesis to fiercer fact | A |
| As metal singing hard with firmness racked | A |
| You formulate our passion and behind | C |
| In some harsh moment nowise of the mind | C |
| Lie the old meanings your advance has packed | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| No man can hold existence in the head | D |
| I too have known the anguish of the right | E |
| Amid this net of mathematic dearth | F |
| And the brain throbbing like a ship at night | E |
| Have faced with old unmitigated dread | D |
| The hard familiar wrinkles of the earth | F |
