A Certain People Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBBBBBCBDDC| As Puritans they prominently wax | A |
| And none more kindly gives and takes hard knocks | B |
| Strong psalmic chanting like to nasal cocks | B |
| They join to thunderings of their hearty thwacks | B |
| But naughtiness with hoggery not lacks | B |
| When Peace another door in them unlocks | B |
| Where conscience shows the eyeing of an ox | B |
| Grown dully apprehensive of an Axe | B |
| Graceless they are when gone to frivolousness | B |
| Fearing the God they flout the God they glut | C |
| They need their pious exercises less | B |
| Than schooling in the Pleasures fair belief | D |
| That these are devilish only to their thief | D |
| Charged with an Axe nigh on the occiput | C |
