The Beast Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCACCCCDECDEC| Here is a tale for sportsmen when at table | A |
| There was a boar like that Atalanta hunted | B |
| Who gorged and snored and unmolested grunted | C |
| His fat way through the world as such able | A |
| Huge jowled and paunched and porcine limbed and marrowed | C |
| King of his kind deep in his lair he squatted | C |
| And round him fames of many maidens rotted | C |
| Where Licence whelped and Lust her monsters farrowed | C |
| There came a damsel like the one in Spenser | D |
| A Britomart as sorcerous as Circe | E |
| Who pierced him with a tract her spear and ended | C |
| The beast's career Made him a man a censor | D |
| Of public morals arbiter of mercy | E |
| And led him by the nose and called him splendid | C |
