Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDAEEA DDECCEYOUR News and Review sir | A |
I've read through and through sir | A |
With little admiring or blaming | B |
The Papers are barren | C |
Of home news or foreign | C |
No murders or rapes worth the naming | B |
- | |

Our friends the Reviewers | D |
Those chippers and hewers | D |
Are judges of mortar and stone sir | A |
But of meet or unmeet | E |
In a fabric complete | E |
I'll boldly pronounce they are none sir | A |

My goose quill too rude is | D |
To tell all your goodness | D |
Bestow'd on your servant the Poet | E |
Would to God I had one | C |
Like a beam of the sun | C |
And then all the world sir should know it | E |
Robert Burns
