The Brewer's Dog Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHBHBIBI JKLKMBNBMOPO| The brewer's dog is abroad boys | A |
| Be careful where you stray | B |
| His teeth are coated with poison | C |
| And he's on the watch for prey | B |
| The brewery is his kennel | D |
| But he lurks on every hand | E |
| And he seeks for easy victims | F |
| The children of the land | E |
| - | |
| - | |
| His eyes gleam through the windows | G |
| Of the gay saloon at night | H |
| And in many a first class 'drug store' | B |
| He is hiding out of sight | H |
| Be careful where you enter | B |
| And if you smell his breath | I |
| Flee as you would from a viper | B |
| For its fumes are the fumes of death | I |
| - | |
| - | |
| O boys would you kill the bloodhound | J |
| Would you slay the snarling whelp | K |
| I know that you can do it | L |
| If every one will help | K |
| You must make a solemn promise | M |
| To drink no ale or beer | B |
| And soon the feeble death wail | N |
| Of the brewer's dog we'll hear | B |
| For if all keep the promise | M |
| You can starve him out I know | O |
| But if boys and men keep drinking | P |
| The dog will thrive and grow | O |
