Musa Clonshoghiana Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAAAAAAAABBBC| That Downpatrick's Dean or Patrick's down went | A |
| Like two arrand Deans two Deans errant I meant | A |
| So that Christmas appears at Bellcampe like a Lent | A |
| Gives the gamesters of both houses great discontent | A |
| Our parsons agree here as those did at Trent | A |
| Dan's forehead has got a most damnable dent | A |
| Besides a large hole in his Michaelmas rent | A |
| But your fancy on rhyming so cursedly bent | A |
| With your bloody ouns in one stanza pent | A |
| Does Jack's utter ruin at picket prevent | A |
| For an answer in specie to yours must be sent | A |
| So this moment at crambo not shuffling is spent | A |
| And I lose by this crotchet quaterze point and quint | B |
| Which you know to a gamester is great bitterment | B |
| But whisk shall revenge me on you Batt and Brent | B |
| Bellcampe January | C |
