Drunk And Disorderly Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACCA DEFDEF| Poor staggering brute whom one and all disdain | A |
| Maybe 'twas outraged Nature bade him slake | B |
| His thirst like this to still the gnawing ache | C |
| Of weary bones that else would ache in vain | A |
| Maybe crushed spirit and stagnating brain | A |
| Only in this delirious fever wake | C |
| To transient joys of fancy that can take | C |
| The sting from want the bitterness from pain | A |
| - | |
| Punish the drunkard Confiscate the bowl | D |
| But give fair wage for work give health and hope | E |
| To check the waste that calls for such repair | F |
| Give food to toil worn body and starved soul | D |
| And give the pinched imagination scope | E |
| For sensuous pleasure in a purer air | F |
