L'audace Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEEFFGGHHIJ| Daughter of God Audacity divine | A |
| Of clowns the terror and of brains the sign | A |
| Not thou the inspirer of the rushing fool | B |
| Not thine of idiots the vocal drool | B |
| Thy bastard sister of the brow of brass | C |
| Presumption actuates the charging ass | C |
| Sky born Audacity of thee who sings | D |
| Should strike with freer hand than mine the strings | D |
| The notes should mount on pinions true and strong | E |
| For thou the subject shouldst sustain the song | E |
| Till angels lean from Heaven a breathless throng | E |
| Alas with reeling heads and wavering tails | F |
| They notes not angels dropp and the hymn fails | F |
| The minstrel's tender fingers and his thumbs | G |
| Are torn to rags upon the lyre he strums | G |
| Have done the lofty thesis makes demand | H |
| For stronger voices and a harder hand | H |
| Night howling apes to make the notes aspire | I |
| And Poet Riley's fist to slug the rebel wire | J |
