A Controversialist Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAB CDEC FGHF| I've sometimes wished that Ingersoll were wise | A |
| To hold his tongue nor rail against the skies | A |
| For when he's made a point some pious dunce | A |
| Like Bartlett of the Bulletin 'replies ' | B |
| - | |
| I brandish no iconoclastic fist | C |
| Nor enter the debate an atheist | D |
| But when they say there is a God I ask | E |
| Why Bartlett then is suffered to exist | C |
| - | |
| Even infidels that logic might resent | F |
| Saying 'There's no place for his punishment | G |
| That's worse than earth ' But humbly I submit | H |
| That he would make a hell wherever sent | F |
