An Epigram Inscribed To The Honourable Sergeant Kite Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFG| In your indignation what mercy appears | A |
| While Jonathan's threaten'd with loss of his ears | A |
| For who would not think it a much better choice | B |
| By your knife to be mangled than rack'd with your voice | B |
| If truly you would be revenged on the parson | C |
| Command his attendance while you act your farce on | D |
| Instead of your maiming your shooting or banging | E |
| Bid Povey secure him while you are haranguing | E |
| Had this been your method to torture him long since | F |
| He had cut his own ears to be deaf to your nonsense | G |
