Verses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFEGGHIJKJ| Observe this Piece which to our Sight does bring | A |
| The fittest Posture for the Swedish King | A |
| Encompass'd as we think with Armies round | B |
| Tho' not express'd within this narrow Bound | B |
| Who whilst his warlike and extended Hand | C |
| Directs the foremost Ranks to Charge or Stand | C |
| Reverts his Face lest That so Fair and Young | D |
| Should call in doubt the Orders of his Tongue | D |
| Whilst the excited and embolden'd Rear | E |
| Such Youth beholding and such Features there | F |
| Devote their plainer Forms and are asham'd to Fear | E |
| Thus ev'ry Action ev'ry Grace of thine | G |
| O latest Son of Fame Son of Gustavus Line | G |
| Affects thy Troops with all that can inspire | H |
| A blooming Sweetness and a martial Fire | I |
| Fatal to none but thy invading Foe | J |
| So Lightnings which to all their Brightness shew | K |
| Strike but the Man alone who has provok'd the Blow | J |
