The Ballad Of That P.n. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEF GGHHBBIIEEJ KKLLBBEEFThe shades of night had fallen at last | A |
When through the house a shadow passed | A |
That once had been the Genial Dan | B |
But now become a desperate man | B |
At question time he waited near | C |
And on the Premier's startled ear | D |
A voice fell like half a brick | E |
Did ye or did ye not pay Crick | E |
Did ye | F |
- | |
By land and sea the Premier sped | G |
But found his foe where'er he fled | G |
The sailors swore with whitened lip | H |
That Neptune swam behind the ship | H |
When to the stern the Premier ran | B |
Behold 'twas no one else but Dan | B |
And through the roaring of the gale | I |
That clarion voice took up the tale | I |
Ahot there Answer straight and slick | E |
Did not the Ministry pay Crick | E |
Did they | J |
- | |
In railway trains he sought retreat | K |
But soon from underneath the seat | K |
With blazing eye and bristling beard | L |
His ancient enemy appeared | L |
And like a boiling torrent ran | B |
The accents of the angry Dan | B |
Tell me John See and tell me quick | E |
Did not ye pay your shares to Crick | E |
Did ye | F |
