Captain John Smith Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCB DDEDDEE| A yeoman born with patrimony small | A |
| He held the world at large as his estate | B |
| Found fit advices in the bugle's call | A |
| And took his part in iron tongued debate | B |
| Where'er one sword another sword blade notched | C |
| Ne'er was he slain though often he was scotched | C |
| Now down now up but always fronting fate | B |

| At last a figure resolute and grand | D |
| In arms he leaped upon Virginia's strand | D |
| Fitted in many schools his course to steer | E |
| He knew the ax the musketoon and brand | D |
| How to obey and better to command | D |
| First of his line he stood a planted spear | E |
| The New World saw the English Pioneer | E |
