Another Reply, By Sheridan Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAAAAABAAAAAA| My pedagogue dear I read with surprise | A |
| Your long sorry rhymes which you made on my eyes | A |
| As the Dean of St Patrick's says earth seas and skies | A |
| I cannot lie down but immediately rise | A |
| To answer your stuff and the Doctor's likewise | A |
| Like a horse with a gall I'm pester'd with flies | A |
| But his head and his tail new succour supplies | A |
| To beat off the vermin from back rump and thighs | A |
| The wing of a goose before me now lies | A |
| Which is both shield and sword for such weak enemies | B |
| Whoever opposes me certainly dies | A |
| Though he were as valiant as Cond or Guise | A |
| The women disturb me a crying of pies | A |
| With a voice twice as loud as a horse when he neighs | A |
| By this Sir you find should we rhyme for a prize | A |
| That I'd gain cloth of gold when you'd scarce merit frize | A |
