To The Right Honourable Lady Charlotte Gordon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFG| Why Lady wilt thou bind thy lovely brow | A |
| With the dread semblance of that warlike helm | B |
| That nodding plume and wreathe of various glow | C |
| That graced the chiefs of Scotia's ancient realm | B |
| - | |
| Thou know'st that virtue is of power the source | D |
| And all her magic to thy eyes is given | E |
| We own their empire while we feel their force | D |
| Beaming with the benignity of heaven | E |
| - | |
| The plumy helmet and the martial mien | F |
| Might dignify Minerva's awful charms | G |
| But more resistless far th' Idalian queen | F |
| Smiles graces gentleness her only arms | G |
