Have you considered using a couple of minutes of your own time first? Like try googling on the string mallarme rhyme scheme "abba baab" and I suspect you will find what you're looking for. (I did.) —Dan

Do any of you know any comp lit or poetry afficionados who'd have access to the first draft of Mallarme's poem "Le Pitre Chatie", which I gather used an abbabaab rhyme scheme for its first eight lines?
I would like to use it in my essay on the Thue-Morse sequence.
As always, I prefer using a couple of minutes of someone else's time (and giving them credit) instead of spending an hour of my own time (especially since a book giving preliminary versions of Mallarme's poems might be in French and hence hard for me to navigate).
