My Masters Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII JKJKLL MNMNOO

Of Poetry I've been accusedA
But much more often I have notB
Oh I have been so much amusedA
By those who've put me on the spotB
And measured me by rules aboveC
Those I observe with equal loveC
-
An artisan of verse am ID
Of simple sense and humble toneE
My Thesaurus is handy byD
A rhyming lexicon I ownE
Without them I am ill at easeF
What bards would use such aids as theseF
-
Bad poets make good verse they sayG
The Great have not distained to wooH
The modest muse of every dayG
Read Longfellow and Byron throughH
The fabric test much verse you'll seeI
Compared with what is poetryI
-
Small blame one cannot always soarJ
To heights of hyaline sublimeK
Melodious prose one must deploreJ
And fetters of rebellious rhymeK
Keats Browning that's another taleL
But even Giants fail and failL
-
I've worshipped Ryley Harte and FieldM
And though their minstrelsy I lackN
To them heart homage here I yieldM
And follow with my verseman's packN
To them with gratitude I lookO
For briefing me to make this bookO
