O Leave Novels! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCBCB DBEBCBCB

O LEAVE novels ye Mauchline bellesA
Ye're safer at your spinning wheelB
Such witching books are baited hooksC
For rakish rooks like Rob MossgielB
Your fine Tom Jones and GrandisonsC
They make your youthful fancies reelB
They heat your brains and fire your veinsC
And then you're prey for Rob MossgielB
-
-
Beware a tongue that's smoothly hungD
A heart that warmly seems to feelB
That feeling heart but acts a partE
'Tis rakish art in Rob MossgielB
The frank address the soft caressC
Are worse than poisoned darts of steelB
The frank address and politesseC
Are all finesse in Rob MossgielB
