The Bird And The Arras Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBBBCCCDDEEFF GGHHFF| By neer resemblance see that Bird betray'd | A |
| Who takes the well wrought Arras for a shade | A |
| There hopes to pearch and with a chearfull Tune | B |
| O're passe the scortchings of the sultry Noon | B |
| But soon repuls'd by the obdurate scean | B |
| How swift she turns but turns alas in vain | B |
| That piece a Grove this shews an ambient sky | C |
| Where immitated Fowl their pinnions ply | C |
| Seeming to mount in flight and aiming still more high | C |
| All she outstrip's and with a moments pride | D |
| Their understation silent does deride | D |
| Till the dash'd Cealing strikes her to the ground | E |
| No intercepting shrub to break the fall is found | E |
| Recovering breath the window next she gaines | F |
| Nor fears a stop from the transparent Panes | F |
| - | |
| But we degresse and leaue th' imprison'd wretch | G |
| Now sinking low now on a loftyer stretch | G |
| Flutt'ring in endless cercles of dismay | H |
| Till some kind hand directs the certain way | H |
| Which through the casement an escape affoards | F |
| And leads to ample space the only Heav'n of Birds | F |
