Sydney Cup 1899 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGDGD HIHIJDJD KLKLMDMD| Of course they say if this Bobadil starts | A |
| He'll settle 'em all in a flash | B |
| For the pace he can go will be breaking their hearts | A |
| And he ends with the Bobadil dash | B |
| But there's one in the race is a fance of mine | C |
| Whenever the distance is far | D |
| Crosslake He's inbred to the Yattendon line | C |
| And we know what the Yattendons are | D |
| His feet are his trouble they're tender as gum | E |
| If only his feet are got straight | F |
| If the field were all Bobadils let 'em all come | E |
| So long as they carry the weight | F |
| For a three year old colt with nine three on his back | G |
| Well he needs to be rather a star | D |
| And with seven stone ten we will trust the old black | G |
| For we know what the Yattendons are | D |
| - | |
| He is sired by Lochiel which ensures that his pace | H |
| Is enough and a little to spare | I |
| But the blood that will tell at the end of the race | H |
| Is the blood of the Yattendon mare | I |
| And this Bobby will find when the whips are about | J |
| It's a very fast journey and far | D |
| And there's just the least doubt will he battle it out | J |
| Nut we know what the Yattendons are | D |
| - | |
| In the rest of the field there are some that can stay | K |
| And a few that can fly while they last | L |
| But the old black outsider will go all the way | K |
| And finish uncommonly fast | L |
| If his feet last him out to the end of the trip | M |
| Bare footed or shod with a bar | D |
| If he once gets this Bobadil under the whip | M |
| Then he'll show what the Yattendons are | D |
