The Satyr Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFEEGH| The Satyr lived in times remote | A |
| A shape half human and half goat | A |
| Who having all Man's faults combined | B |
| With a Goat's nature unrefined | B |
| Was not what you would call a bright | C |
| Example or a shining light | C |
| Far be it from me to condone | D |
| The Satyr's sins yet I must own | D |
| I like to think there were a few | E |
| Young Satyrs who to Heaven flew | E |
| And when Saint Peter thunder browed | F |
| Seeing them cried No goats allowed | F |
| Although the gate slammed quickly to | E |
| Somehow their human halves got through | E |
| Whereat the kindly saint relented | G |
| And that's how Cherubs were invented | H |
