Cattle In Summer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHFIFJKLMNOPQR SETUF| Around th' adjoining brook that purls along | A |
| The vocal grove now fretting o'er a rock | B |
| Now scarcely moving through a reedy pool | C |
| Now starting to a sudden stream and now | D |
| Gently diffused into a limpid plain | E |
| A various group the herds and flocks compose | F |
| Rural confusion on the grassy bank | G |
| Some ruminating lie while others stand | H |
| Half circling surface In the middle droops | F |
| The strong laborious ox of honest front | I |
| Which incomposed he shakes and from his sides | F |
| The troublous insects lashes with his tail | J |
| Returning still Amid his subjects safe | K |
| Slumbers the monarch swain his careless arm | L |
| Thrown round his head on downy moss sustain'd | M |
| Here laid his scrip with wholesome viands fill'd | N |
| There listening every noise his watchful dog | O |
| Light fly his slumbers if perchance a flight | P |
| Of angry gadflies fasten on the herd | Q |
| The startling scatters from the shallow brook | R |
| In search of lavish stream Tossing the foam | S |
| They scorn the keeper's voice and scour the plain | E |
| Through all the bright severity of noon | T |
| While from their labouring breasts a hollow moan | U |
| Proceeding runs low bellowing round the hills | F |
