The Toad Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBCDBEDBE| Here is a tale to tell to rich relations | A |
| There was a toad a Calibanic monster | B |
| In whose squat head ambition had ensconced her | B |
| Most bloated jewel dear to highest stations | A |
| He was received though mottled as a lichen | C |
| In coat and character because the creature | B |
| Croaked as the devil prompted him or nature | B |
| And said the right thing both in hall and kitchen | C |
| To each he sang according to their liking | D |
| And purred his flattery in the ear of Leisure | B |
| Cringing attendance on the proud and wealthy | E |
| One day a crane with features of a Viking | D |
| Swallowed him whole and did it with great pleasure | B |
| His system needed such toads kept him healthy | E |
