Arms And The Man. - Nelson And The Gunners Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCBDEFGGFHHF| O'er town and works and waves amain | A |
| Far fell grim Ruin's furious rain | A |
| O'er parapet and mast | B |
| And riding on the thunder swell | C |
| Far flew the shot far flew the shell | C |
| Red Havoc on the blast | B |
| Then as the flashing cannon sowed | D |
| Their iron crop brave Nelson rode | E |
| His bridle bit all foam | F |
| Up to the gunners and said he | G |
| Batter yon mansion down for me | G |
| Basement and walls and dome | F |
| And better to sharpen those gunners' wits | H |
| Five guineas he cried for each shot that hits | H |
| That mansion was his home | F |
