A Rebus. By Vanessa Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABBCCDDEE| Cut the name of the man who his mistress denied | A |
| And let the first of it be only applied | A |
| To join with the prophet who David did chide | A |
| Then say what a horse is that runs very fast | B |
| And that which deserves to be first put the last | B |
| Spell all then and put them together to find | C |
| The name and the virtues of him I design'd | C |
| Like the patriarch in Egypt he's versed in the state | D |
| Like the prophet in Jewry he's free with the great | D |
| Like a racer he flies to succour with speed | E |
| When his friends want his aid or desert is in need | E |
