The Lord And The Bramble Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBCDCCD EFEGF HIHHI BJBBJ KLKKM NMNNO DPDDP| To view his stately Walks and Groves | A |
| A Man of Pow'r and Place | B |
| Was hast'ning on but as he roves | B |
| His Foe the slighted Bramble proves | B |
| And stops his eager Pace | B |
| That Shrub was qualify'd to Bite | C |
| And now there went a Tale | D |
| That this injurious partial Wight | C |
| Had bid his Gard'ner rid it quite | C |
| And throw it o'er the Pail | D |
| - | |
| Often the Bry'r had wish'd to speak | E |
| That this might not be done | F |
| But from the Abject and the Weak | E |
| Who no important Figure make | G |
| What Statesman does not run | F |
| - | |
| But clinging now about his Waste | H |
| Ere he had time to fly | I |
| My Lord quoth he for all your haste | H |
| I'll know why I must be displac'd | H |
| And 'mongst the Rubbish lie | I |
| - | |
| Must none but buffle headed Trees | B |
| Within your Ground be seen | J |
| Or tap'ring Yews here court the Breeze | B |
| That like some Beaux whom Time does freeze | B |
| At once look Old and Green | J |
| - | |
| I snarl 'tis true and sometimes scratch | K |
| A tender footed Squire | L |
| Who does a rugged Tartar catch | K |
| When me he thinks to over match | K |
| And jeers for my Attire | M |
| - | |
| As to Yourself who 'gainst me fret | N |
| E'en give this Project o'er | M |
| For know where'er my Root is set | N |
| These rambling Twigs will Passage get | N |
| And vex you more and more | O |
| - | |
| No Wants no Threatnings nor the Jail | D |
| Will curb an angry Wit | P |
| Then think not to chastise or rail | D |
| Appease the Man if you'd prevail | D |
| Who some sharp Satire writ | P |
