The Looking-glass Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BBAACCDDEEFFGG| ON MRS PULTENEY | A |
| - | |
| With scornful mien and various toss of air | B |
| Fantastic vain and insolently fair | B |
| Grandeur intoxicates her giddy brain | A |
| She looks ambition and she moves disdain | A |
| Far other carriage graced her virgin life | C |
| But charming Gumley's lost in Pulteney's wife | C |
| Not greater arrogance in him we find | D |
| And this conjunction swells at least her mind | D |
| Oh 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 |
Alexander Pope
