Stanzas On The Taking Of Quebec, And Death Of General Wolfe Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDF GHGH| Amidst the clamour of exulting joys | A |
| Which triumph forces from the patriot heart | B |
| Grief dares to mingle her soul piercing voice | C |
| And quells the raptures which from pleasures start | B |
| - | |
| O WOLFE to thee a streaming flood of woe | D |
| Sighing we pay and think e'en conquest dear | E |
| QUEBEC in vain shall teach our breast to glow | D |
| Whilst thy sad fate extorts the heart wrung tear | F |
| - | |
| Alive the foe thy dreadful vigour fled | G |
| And saw thee fall with joy pronouncing eyes | H |
| Yet they shall know thou conquerest though dead | G |
| Since from thy tomb a thousand heroes rise | H |
