A Description Of The Morning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHII| Now hardly here and there an hackney coach | A |
| Appearing show'd the ruddy morn's approach | A |
| Now Betty from her master's bed has flown | B |
| And softly stole to discompose her own | B |
| The slipshod prentice from his master's door | C |
| Had par'd the dirt and sprinkled round the floor | C |
| Now Moll had whirl'd her mop with dext'rous airs | D |
| Prepar'd to scrub the entry and the stairs | D |
| The youth with broomy stumps began to trace | E |
| The kennel edge where wheels had worn the place | E |
| The small coal man was heard with cadence deep | F |
| 'Til drown'd in shriller notes of chimney sweep | F |
| Duns at his lordships gate began to meet | G |
| And brickdust Moll had scream'd through half the street | G |
| The turnkey now his flock returning sees | H |
| Duly let out a nights to steal for fees | H |
| The watchful bailiffs take their silent stands | I |
| And school boys lag with satchels in their hands | I |
