Letter Ix. From The Dunghill-cock To The Chaffinch. (the Bird And Insects' Post-office.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A B C A| I have often during the spring and summer heard you of a morning piping away in the hedges sometimes as soon as I was up myself and thought your singing pretty fair and that you conducted yourself as you ought to do But this I cannot say lately for it is quite overstepping the bounds of decency and good manners when you and your brother pilferers now the winter is come make it your daily practice to come by scores as you do into our yard and without any ceremony eat up all the barley you can lay your beaks to I suppose when the spring comes again and you find more to satisfy you outside a farmyard than within you will be off to the hedges again I shall let you alone unless the barley runs short which is to support my wives and children when if you still venture to continue your pilferings you must not be surprised should some of you feel the weight of my displeasure | A |
| - | |
| I must go after my family who are all out of my sight since I have been writing this | B |
| - | |
| Yours in haste and a friend if possible | C |

| CHANTICLEER | A |
