On Seeing A Portrait Of Sir Robert Walpole Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFFGGHIJJKK

Such were the lively eyes and rosy hueA
Of Robin's face when Robin first I knewA
The gay companion and the fav'rite guestB
Lov'd without awe and without views caress'dB
His cheerful smile and open honest lookC
Added new graces to the truth he spokeD
Then ev'ry man found something to commendE
The pleasant neighbour and the worthy friendE
The gen'rous master of a private houseF
The tender father and indulgent spouseF
The hardest censors at the worst believ'dG
His temper was too easily deceiv'dG
A consequential ill good nature drawsH
A bad effect but from a noble causeI
Whence then these clamours of a judging crowdJ
Suspicious griping insolent and proudJ
Rapacious cruel violent unjustK
False to his friend and traitor to his trustK

Lady Mary Wortley Montagu
