Dick, A Maggot Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGG| As when from rooting in a bin | A |
| All powder'd o'er from tail to chin | A |
| A lively maggot sallies out | B |
| You know him by his hazel snout | B |
| So when the grandson of his grandsire | C |
| Forth issues wriggling Dick Drawcansir | C |
| With powder'd rump and back and side | D |
| You cannot blanch his tawny hide | D |
| For 'tis beyond the power of meal | E |
| The gipsy visage to conceal | E |
| For as he shakes his wainscot chops | F |
| Down every mealy atom drops | F |
| And leaves the tartar phiz in show | G |
| Like a fresh t d just dropp'd on snow | G |
