All In A Coach And Four Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBDDB EBFFBGGB HBIIBJJB KBLLBMMB| The quality folk went riding by | A |
| All in a coach and four | B |
| And pretty Annette in a calico gown | C |
| Bringing her marketing things from town | C |
| Stopped short with her Sunday store | B |
| And wondered if ever it should betide | D |
| That she in a long plumed hat would ride | D |
| Away in a coach and four | B |
| - | |
| A lord there was oh a lonely soul | E |
| There in the coach and four | B |
| His years were young but his heart was old | F |
| And he hated his coaches and hated his gold | F |
| Those things which we all adore | B |
| And he thought how sweet it would be to trudge | G |
| Along with the fair little country drudge | G |
| And away from his coach and four | B |
| - | |
| So back he rode the very next day | H |
| All in his coach and four | B |
| And he went each day whether dry or wet | I |
| Until he married the sweet Annette | I |
| In spite of her lack of lore | B |
| But they didn't trudge off on foot together | J |
| For he bought her a hat with a long long feather | J |
| And they rode in the coach and four | B |
| - | |
| Now a thing like this could happen we know | K |
| All in a coach and four | B |
| But the fact of it is 'twixt me and you | L |
| There isn't a word of the story true | L |
| Pardon I do implore | B |
| It is only a foolish and fanciful song | M |
| That came to me as I rode along | M |
| All in a coach and four | B |
