Description Of An Author's Bedchamber Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCAADDEEFFGGHHAA| WHERE the Red Lion flaring o'er the way | A |
| Invites each passing stranger that can pay | A |
| Where Calvert's butt and Parsons' black champagne | B |
| Regale the drabs and bloods of Drury lane | B |
| There in a lonely room from bailiffs snug | C |
| The Muse found Scroggen stretch'd beneath a rug | C |
| A window patch'd with paper lent a ray | A |
| That dimly show'd the state in which he lay | A |
| The sanded floor that grits beneath the tread | D |
| The humid wall with paltry pictures spread | D |
| The royal game of goose was there in view | E |
| And the twelve rules the royal martyr drew | E |
| The seasons fram'd with listing found a place | F |
| And brave prince William show'd his lamp black face | F |
| The morn was cold he views with keen desire | G |
| The rusty grate unconscious of a fire | G |
| With beer and milk arrears the frieze was scor'd | H |
| And five crack'd teacups dress'd the chimney board | H |
| A nightcap deck'd his brows instead of bay | A |
| A cap by night a stocking all the day | A |
