The Garden Plot Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFBGHII| When Naboth's vineyard look'd so fine | A |
| The king cried out 'Would this were mine ' | B |
| And yet no reason could prevail | C |
| To bring the owner to a sale | C |
| Jezebel saw with haughty pride | D |
| How Ahab grieved to be denied | D |
| And thus accosted him with scorn | E |
| 'Shall Naboth make a monarch mourn | E |
| A king and weep The ground's your own | F |
| I'll vest the garden in the crown ' | B |
| With that she hatch'd a plot and made | G |
| Poor Naboth answer with his head | H |
| And when his harmless blood was spilt | I |
| The ground became his forfeit guilt | I |
