The Swashbuckler Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGHII| Squat nosed and broad of big and pompous port | A |
| A tavern visage apoplexy haunts | B |
| All pimple puffed the Falstaff like resort | A |
| Of fat debauchery whose veined cheek flaunts | B |
| A flabby purple rusty spurred he stands | C |
| In rakehell boots and belt and hanger that | D |
| Claps when with greasy gauntlets on his hands | C |
| He swaggers past in cloak and slouch plumed hat | D |
| Aggression marches armies in his words | E |
| And in his oaths great deeds ride cap pie | F |
| His looks his gestures breathe the breath of swords | G |
| And in his carriage camp all wars to be | H |
| With him of battles there shall be no lack | I |
| While buxom wenches are and stoops of sack | I |
