Mr. William Smellie: A Sketch Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDESHREWD Willie Smellie to Crochallan came | A |
The old cock'd hat the grey surtout the same | A |
His bristling beard just rising in its might | B |
'Twas four long nights and days to shaving night | B |
His uncomb'd grizzly locks wild staring thatch'd | C |
A head for thought profound and clear unmatch'd | C |
Yet tho' his caustic wit was biting rude | D |
His heart was warm benevolent and good | E |
Robert Burns
