On The Same Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACBBDBE| I did but prompt the age to quit their clogs | A |
| By the known rules of ancient liberty | B |
| When straight a barbarous noise environs me | B |
| Of owls and cuckoos asses apes and dogs | A |
| As when those hinds that were transformed to frogs | A |
| Railed at Latona s twin born progeny | B |
| Which after held the Sun and Moon in fee | B |
| But this is got by casting pearl to hogs | A |
| That bawl for freedom in their senseless mood | C |
| And still revolt when Truth would set them free | B |
| Licence they mean when they cry Liberty | B |
| For who loves that must first be wise and good | D |
| But from that mark how far they rove we see | B |
| For all this waste of wealth and loss of blood | E |
