The Ballad Of That P.n. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFGGHHBBIIEEJ KKLLBBEEF| The 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 |
