Braggart Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDAECEDDFGFG| With careful step to keep his balance up | A |
| He reels on warily along the street | B |
| Slabbering at mouth and with a staggering stoop | C |
| Mutters an angry look at all he meets | D |
| Bumptious and vain and proud he shoulders up | A |
| And would be something if he knew but how | E |
| To any man on earth he will not stoop | C |
| But cracks of work of horses and of plough | E |
| Proud of the foolish talk the ale he quaffs | D |
| He never heeds the insult loud that laughs | D |
| With rosy maid he tries to joke and play | F |
| Who shrugs and nettles deep his pomp and pride | G |
| And calls him 'drunken beast' and runs away | F |
| King to himself and fool to all beside | G |
