From the beginning to the end of "The bet" the lawyer A. comes to believe that material wealth and possessions are a curse rather than a blessing.

He has become a wise man through fifteen years of studying, but he even despise this, as well as other terrenal possessions, as he states in this excerpt: "It is all worthless, fleeting, illusory, and deceptive, like a mirage. You may be proud, wise, and fine, but death will wipe you off the face of the earth as though you were no more than mice burrowing under the floor, and your posterity, your history, your immortal geniuses will burn or freeze together with the earthly globe."

Determine the rhyme scheme of "It Is a Beauteous Evening, Calm and Free"
Grace [21]
Alright reading the poem "Its is a Beauteous Evening, Calm and Free" by Wordsworth, we can conclude the rhyme scheme in the following way.
It's important to recognize that "thought" and "not" rhyme, as that is a common mistake made within this text.
 We can determine rhyme scheme by looking at the last word in the line. If they rhyme then they are the same letter, if not we add a new letter.
So doing so we can get:
Rhyme Scheme: 
Line 1 - a
Line 2 - b
Line 3 - b
Line 4 - a
Line 5 - a
Line 6 - c
Line 7 - c
Line 8 - a
Line 9 - d
Line 10 - e
Line 12 - f
Line 13 - d
Line 14 - f
Line 13 - e

Hope this helped!! If you have any other questions or would like further explanation just let me know!! :)
