The Chimera Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDBBEEBB| You'd think a lion or a snake | A |
| Were quite enough one's nerves to shake | A |
| But in this classic beast we find | B |
| A lion and a snake combined | B |
| And just as if that weren't enough | C |
| A goat thrown in to make it tough | C |
| Let scientists the breed pooh pooh | D |
| Come with me to some Social Zoo | D |
| And hear the bearded Lion bleat | B |
| Goat like on patent kidded feet | B |
| Whose Civil leer and damning praise | E |
| The serpent's cloven tongue betrays | E |
| Lo lion goat and snake combined | B |
| Thus Nature doth repeat her kind | B |
