On A Cannon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFG| Begotten and born and dying with noise | A |
| The terror of women and pleasure of boys | A |
| Like the fiction of poets concerning the wind | B |
| I'm chiefly unruly when strongest confined | B |
| For silver and gold I don't trouble my head | C |
| But all I delight in is pieces of lead | C |
| Except when I trade with a ship or a town | D |
| Why then I make pieces of iron go down | D |
| One property more I would have you remark | E |
| No lady was ever more fond of a spark | E |
| The moment I get one my soul's all a fire | F |
| And I roar out my joy and in transport expire | G |
