The Looking-glass. : On Mrs. Pulteney Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGG| With scornful mien and various toss of air | A |
| Fantastic vain and insolently fair | A |
| Grandeur intoxicates her giddy brain | B |
| She looks ambition and she moves disdain | B |
| Far other carriage grac'd her virgin life | C |
| But charming G y's lost in P y's wife | C |
| Not greater arrogance in him we find | D |
| And this conjunction swells at least her mind | D |
| O could the sire renown'd in glass produce | E |
| One faithful mirror for his daughter's use | E |
| Wherein she might her haughty errors trace | F |
| And by reflection learn to mend her face | F |
| The wonted sweetness to her form restore | G |
| Be what she was and charm mankind once more | G |
