Fragment Of An Epistle To Thomas Moore Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDAAAA AAEFAAA GGAACC H| 'What say I ' not a syllable further in prose | A |
| I'm your man 'of all measures ' dear Tom so here goes | A |
| Here goes for a swim on the stream of old Time | B |
| On those buoyant supporters the blad ders of rhyme | B |
| If our weight breaks them down and we sink in the flood | C |
| We are smother'd at least in respectable mud | C |
| Where the Divers of Bathos lie drown'd in a heap | D |
| And Southey's last P an has pillow'd his sleep | D |
| That Felo de se ' who half drunk with his malmsey | A |
| Walk'd out of his depth and was lost in a calm sea | A |
| Singing 'Glory to God' in a spick and span stanza | A |
| The like since Tom Sternhold was choked never man saw | A |
| - | |
| The papers have told you no doubt of the fusses | A |
| The fetes and the gapings to get at these Russes | A |
| Of his Majesty's suite up from coach man to Hetman | E |
| And what dignity decks the flat face of the great man | F |
| I saw him last week at two balls and a party | A |
| For a prince his demeanour was rather too hearty | A |
| You know we are used to quite different graces | A |
| - | |
| The Czar's look I own was much brighter and brisker | G |
| But then he is sadly deficient in whisker | G |
| And wore but a starless blue coat and in kersey | A |
| Mere breeches whisk'd round in a waltz with the Jersey | A |
| Who lovely as ever seem'd just as delighted | C |
| With Majesty's presence as those she invited | C |
