Quits Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFADAD GHIHJKJK| Ben Unger s wife was dark and small | A |
| With little round black eyes | B |
| Ben Unger started at her call | A |
| For Ben had been made wise | B |
| No dirge could crush his spirit but | C |
| The one by Annie sung | D |
| No whip lash ever made could cut | C |
| Like Annie Unger s tongue | D |
| - | |
| But Annie had a round red cheek | E |
| A figure like a plum | F |
| And Henderson from up the creek | E |
| In courtship sly would come | F |
| Then Annie voiced no angry call | A |
| Here dirge remained unsung | D |
| And very gentle was the fall | A |
| Of Annie Unger s tongue | D |
| - | |
| Ned Holman went to Ben upon | G |
| The hill in Colter s hay | H |
| He said your wife with Henderson | I |
| Ran off at ten to day | H |
| Ben stood stock still All right said he | J |
| Then with a little laugh | K |
| That makes us quits at last Twas me | J |
| That stole his brindle calf | K |
