Odell Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| My mind is sad and weary thinking how | A |
| The griffins of the Gael went over the sea | B |
| From noble Eir and are fighting now | A |
| In France and Flanders and in Germany | B |
| - | |
| If they 'mid whom I sported without dread | C |
| Were home I would not mind what foe might do | D |
| Or fear tax man Odell would seize my bed | C |
| To pay the hearth rate that is overdue | D |
| - | |
| I pray to Him who in the haughty hour | E |
| Of Babel threw confusion on each tongue | F |
| That I may see our princes back in power | E |
| And see Odell the tax collector hung | F |
