On A Cannon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGBegotten 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 |
