Progress Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBABDEBDE| In Progress you have little faith say you | A |
| Men will maintain dear interests wreak base hates | B |
| By force and gentle women choose their mates | B |
| Most amorously from the gilded fighting crew | A |
| The human heart Bellona's mad halloo | C |
| Will ever fire to dicing with the Fates | B |
| 'Now at this time ' says History 'those two States | B |
| Stood ready their past wrestling to renew | A |
| They sharpened arms and showed them like the brutes | B |
| Whose haunches quiver But a yellow blight | D |
| Fell on their waxing harvests They deferred | E |
| The bloody settlement of their disputes | B |
| Till God should bless them better ' They did right | D |
| And naming Progress both shall have the word | E |
