Hawk And Buckle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ABAB ABAB ABAB ABAB ABAB| Where is the landlord of old Hawk and Buckle | A |
| And what of Master Straddler this hot summer weather | B |
| He's along in the tap room with broad cheeks a chuckle | A |
| And ten bold companions all drinking together | B |
| - | |
| Where is the daughter of old Hawk and Buckle | A |
| And what of Mistress Jenny this hot summer weather | B |
| She sits in the parlour with smell of honeysuckle | A |
| Trimming her bonnet with red ostrich feather | B |
| - | |
| Where is the ostler of old Hawk and Buckle | A |
| And what of Willy Jakeman this hot summer weather | B |
| He is rubbing his eyes with a slow and lazy knuckle | A |
| As he wakes from his nap on a bank of fresh heather | B |
| - | |
| Where is the page boy of old Hawk and Buckle | A |
| And what of our young Charlie this hot summer weather | B |
| He is bobbing for tiddlers in a little trickle truckle | A |
| With his line and his hook and his breeches of leather | B |
| - | |
| Where is the grey goat of old Hawk and Buckle | A |
| And what of pretty Nanny this hot summer weather | B |
| She stays not contented with little or with muckle | A |
| Straining for daisies at the end of her tether | B |
| - | |
| For this is our motto at old Hawk and Buckle | A |
| We cling to it close and we sing all together | B |
| Every man for himself at our old Hawk and Buckle | A |
| And devil take the hindmost this hot summer weather | B |
