The Force Of Habit Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGGFF FFHHIIJJFF| A little child who had desired | A |
| To go and see the Park guns fired | A |
| Was taken by his maid that way | B |
| Upon the next rejoicing day | B |
| Soon as the unexpected stroke | C |
| Upon his tender organs broke | C |
| Confused and stunned at the report | D |
| He to her arms fled for support | D |
| And begged to be conveyed at once | E |
| Out of the noise of those great guns | F |
| Those naughty guns whose only sound | G |
| Would kill he said without a wound | G |
| So much of horror and offence | F |
| The shock had given his infant sense | F |
| - | |
| - | |
| Yet this was he in after days | F |
| Who filled the world with martial praise | F |
| When from the English quarter deck | H |
| His steady courage swayed the wreck | H |
| Of hostile fleets disturbed no more | I |
| By all that vast conflicting roar | I |
| That sky and sea did seem to tear | J |
| When vessels whole blew up in air | J |
| Than at the smallest breath that heaves | F |
| When Zephyr hardly stirs the leaves | F |
