The Chimera Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDBBEEBBYou'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 |
