Identify the Rhyme Scheme in the following lines.
Some men with swords may reap the field,
And plant fresh laurels where they kill: But their strong nerves at last must yield; They tame but one another still:
Whenever I behold an asp
I can't suppress a prudish gasp. I do not charge the asp with matricide, But what about Cleopatricide? My mothers maids, when they did sew and spin, They sang sometimes a song of the field mouse, That for because their livelihood was but so thin.
Shall we go sing the song, the song?
Never Love did ever wrong, Fair maids, hold hands all along.
Helen, thy beauty is to me
Like those Nicean barks of yore, That gently, o'er a perfumed sea, The weary, way worn wanderer bore To his native shore
Start with your heart:
Count your blessings, Make love your art, Work true feelings.
Time is a concept quite beyond my ken.
String theory baffles brilliant folks and me. I'll not wax philosophic then again Perhaps I did already, shame on me. Time keeps everything in order you see. For flies who's life-cycle completes in one day, Men and boys would be distinct I would say.
