Wendell Phillips Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAABBCDDCEFEE| PEOPLE S ATTORNEY servant of the Right | A |
| Pleader for all shades of the solar ray | B |
| Complexions dusky yellow red or white | A |
| Who in thy country s and thy time s despite | A |
| Hast only questioned What will Duty say | B |
| And followed swiftly in her narrow way | B |
| Tipped is thy tongue with golden eloquence | C |
| All honeyed accents fall from off thy lips | D |
| Each eager listener his full measure sips | D |
| Yet runs to waste the sparkling opulence | C |
| The scorn of bigots and the worldling s flout | E |
| If Time long held thy merit in suspense | F |
| Hastening repentant now with pen devout | E |
| Impartial History dare not leave thee out | E |
