Louse Hunting Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGDH IIJAKLMNONAJPIQI| Nudes stark and glistening | A |
| Yelling in lurid glee Grinning faces | B |
| And raging limbs | C |
| Whirl over the floor one fire | D |
| For a shirt verminously busy | E |
| Yon soldier tore from his throat with oaths | F |
| Godhead might shrink at but not the lice | G |
| And soon the shirt was aflare | D |
| Over the candle he'd lit while we lay | H |
| - | |
| Then we all sprang up and stript | I |
| To hunt the verminous brood | I |
| Soon like a demons' pantomine | J |
| The place was raging | A |
| See the silhouettes agape | K |
| See the glibbering shadows | L |
| Mixed with the battled arms on the wall | M |
| See gargantuan hooked fingers | N |
| Pluck in supreme flesh | O |
| To smutch supreme littleness | N |
| See the merry limbs in hot Highland fling | A |
| Because some wizard vermin | J |
| Charmed from the quiet this revel | P |
| When our ears were half lulled | I |
| By the dark music | Q |
| Blown from Sleep's trumpet | I |
