The Hog, The Sheep, And Goat, Carrying To A Fair Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABB CACAA ADADD DEDEE DDDDD AFAFF| Who does not wish ever to judge aright | A |
| And in the Course of Life's Affairs | B |
| To have a quick and far extended Sight | A |
| Tho' it too often multiplies his Cares | B |
| And who has greater Sense but greater Sorrow shares | B |
| - | |
| This felt the Swine now carrying to the Knife | C |
| And whilst the Lamb and silent Goat | A |
| In the same fatal Cart lay void of Strife | C |
| He widely stretches his foreboding Throat | A |
| Deaf'ning the easy Crew with his outragious Note | A |
| - | |
| The angry Driver chides th'unruly Beast | A |
| And bids him all this Noise forbear | D |
| Nor be more loud nor clamorous than the rest | A |
| Who with him travel'd to the neighb'ring Fair | D |
| And quickly shou'd arrive and be unfetter'd there | D |
| - | |
| This quoth the Swine I do believe is true | D |
| And see we're very near the Town | E |
| Whilst these poor Fools of short and bounded View | D |
| Think 'twill be well when you have set them down | E |
| And eas'd One of her Milk the Other of her Gown | E |
| - | |
| But all the dreadful Butchers in a Row | D |
| To my far searching Thoughts appear | D |
| Who know indeed we to the Shambles go | D |
| Whilst I whom none but Belzebub wou'd shear | D |
| Nor but his Dam wou'd milk must for my Carcase fear | D |
| - | |
| But tell me then will it prevent thy Fate | A |
| The rude unpitying Farmer cries | F |
| If not the Wretch who tastes his Suff'rings late | A |
| Not He who thro' th'unhappy Future prys | F |
| Must of the Two be held most Fortunate and Wise | F |
