The Ape Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBCCBBCDBCD| Here is a tale for maidens and for mothers | A |
| There was an ape a very prince of monkeys | B |
| Who capered in the world of fools and flunkies | B |
| The envy of his set and of all others | B |
| He was the handbook of all social manners | B |
| The beau of beaux and simian glass of fashion | C |
| To whom all folly functioned played at passion | C |
| And matrimony waved beleaguering banners | B |
| A girl of girls one God had given graces | B |
| And beauty more than oft He grants to human | C |
| Captured the creature and they were united | D |
| And strange to say she loved him Saw no traces | B |
| Of ape in him And like a very woman | C |
| Reformed her countenance and was delighted | D |
