On Noisy Tom; Horace, Part Of Book I, Sat. Vi, Paraphrased Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFFGGDDHHAAII| If Noisy Tom should in the senate prate | A |
| That he would answer both for church and state | A |
| And farther to demonstrate his affection | B |
| Would take the kingdom into his protection | B |
| All mortals must be curious to inquire | C |
| Who could this coxcomb be and who his sire | D |
| What thou the spawn of him who shamed our isle | E |
| Traitor assassin and informer vile | E |
| Though by the female side you proudly bring | F |
| To mend your breed the murderer of a king | F |
| What was thy grandsire but a mountaineer | G |
| Who held a cabin for ten groats a year | G |
| Whose master Moore preserved him from the halter | D |
| For stealing cows nor could he read the Psalter | D |
| Durst thou ungrateful from the senate chase | H |
| Thy founder's grandson and usurp his place | H |
| Just Heaven to see the dunghill bastard brood | A |
| Survive in thee and make the proverb good | A |
| Then vote a worthy citizen to jail | I |
| In spite of justice and refuse his bail | I |
