Jacob Godbey Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEFGDHIJGKLCGGG| How did you feel you libertarians | A |
| Who spent your talents rallying noble reasons | A |
| Around the saloon as if Liberty | B |
| Was not to be found anywhere except at the bar | C |
| Or at a table guzzling | D |
| How did you feel Ben Pantier and the rest of you | E |
| Who almost stoned me for a tyrant | F |
| Garbed as a moralist | G |
| And as a wry faced ascetic frowning upon Yorkshire pudding | D |
| Roast beef and ale and good will and rosy cheer | H |
| Things you never saw in a grog shop in your life | I |
| How did you feel after I was dead and gone | J |
| And your goddess Liberty unmasked as a strumpet | G |
| Selling out the streets of Spoon River | K |
| To the insolent giants | L |
| Who manned the saloons from afar | C |
| Did it occur to you that personal liberty | G |
| Is liberty of the mind | G |
| Rather than of the belly | G |
