Sketch. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEFGGHHIJ

A little upright pert tart tripping wightA
And still his precious self his dear delightA
Who loves his own smart shadow in the streetsB
Better than e'er the fairest she he meetsB
A man of fashion too he made his tourC
Learn'd vive la bagatelle et vive l'amourD
So travell'd monkeys their grimace improveE
Polish their grin nay sigh for ladies' loveF
Much specious lore but little understoodG
Veneering oft outshines the solid woodG
His solid sense by inches you must tellH
But mete his cunning by the old Scots ellH
His meddling vanity a busy fiendI
Still making work his selfish craft must mendJ
