The Toast. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFFGG| Instead of a song boys I'll give you a toast | A |
| Here's the memory of those on the twelfth that we lost | B |
| That we lost did I say nay by Heav'n that we found | C |
| For their fame it shall last while the world goes round | C |
| The next in succession I'll give you the King | D |
| Whoe'er would betray him on high may he swing | D |
| And here's the grand fabric our free Constitution | E |
| As built on the base of the great Revolution | E |
| And longer with politics not to be cramm'd | F |
| Be Anarchy curs'd and be Tyranny damn'd | F |
| And who would to Liberty e'er prove disloyal | G |
| May his son be a hangman and he his first trial | G |
Robert Burns
