The Warning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECEF| We have seen mighty men ballooning high | A |
| And in another moment bump the ground | B |
| He falls and in his measurement is found | B |
| To count some inches o'er the common fry | A |
| 'Twas not enough to send him climbing sky | A |
| Yet 'twas enough above his fellows crowned | B |
| Had he less panted Let his faithful hound | B |
| Bark at detractors He may walk or lie | A |
| Concerns it most ourselves who with our gas | C |
| This little Isle's insatiable greed | D |
| For Continents filled to inflation burst | E |
| So do ripe nations into squalor pass | C |
| When driven as herds by their old private thirst | E |
| They scorn the brain's wild search for virtuous light | F |
