Johndonkey Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGG| Thus the poor ass whose appetite has ne'er | A |
| Known than the thistle any sweeter fare | A |
| Thinks all the world eats thistles Thus the clown | B |
| The wit and Mentor of the country town | B |
| Grins through the collar of a horse and thinks | C |
| Others for pleasure do as he for drinks | C |
| Though secretly because unwilling still | D |
| In public to attest their lack of skill | D |
| Each dunce whose life and mind all follies mar | E |
| Believes as he is all men living are | E |
| His vices theirs their understandings his | F |
| Naught that he knows not all he fancies is | F |
| How odd that any mind such stuff should boast | G |
| How natural to write it in the Post | G |
