Mocking For Sense? Poem by Douglas Scotney
Mocking For Sense?
The possible sound-rhyming
of 'sens' with 'men's'
might be why we
don't drop the 'e' off 'sense'.
No such trouble posed 'selfe';
nor, from what I see
in a poem from the late 17th century,
did 'wee' and 'bee',
'designe', 'finde', 'charme',
'appeare', 'againe', and 'hee'.
Sense set in some time after;
unless the poet I'm reading
(and he very well could have been)
was looking for laughter.
Picture: Johnny Depp plays Wilmot in 'The Libertine'.
