Hodge Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFBB| He plays with other boys when work is done | A |
| But feels too clumsy and too stiff to run | A |
| Yet where there's mischief he can find a way | B |
| The first to join and last to run away | B |
| What's said or done he never hears or minds | C |
| But gets his pence for all the eggs he finds | C |
| He thinks his master's horses far the best | D |
| And always labours longer than the rest | D |
| In frost and cold though lame he's forced to go | E |
| The call's more urgent when he journeys slow | E |
| In surly speed he helps the maids by force | F |
| And feeds the cows and hallos till he's hoarse | F |
| And when he's lame they only jest and play | B |
| And bid him throw his kiby heels away | B |
