The Fair Stranger. A Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGHII| Happy and free securely blest | A |
| No beauty could disturb my rest | A |
| My amorous heart was in despair | B |
| To find a new victorious fair | B |
| Till you descending on our plains | C |
| With foreign force renew my chains | C |
| Where now you rule without control | D |
| The mighty sovereign of my soul | D |
| Your smiles have more of conquering charms | E |
| Than all your native country's arms | E |
| Their troops we can expel with ease | F |
| Who vanquish only when we please | F |
| But in your eyes O there's the spell | G |
| Who can see them and not rebel | H |
| You make us captives by your stay | I |
| Yet kill us if you go away | I |
