Slugging Saint Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDADA EAEAFAFA GHGHCAACA| 'Twas in a pub in Battersea | A |
| They call the Rose and Crown | B |
| Quite suddenly it seemed to me | C |
| The Lord was looking down | B |
| The Lord was looking from above | D |
| And shiny was His face | A |
| And I was filled with gush of love | D |
| For all the human race | A |
| - | |
| Anon I saw three ancient men | E |
| Who reckoned not of bliss | A |
| And they looked quite astonished when | E |
| I gave them each a kiss | A |
| I kissed each on his balding spot | F |
| With heart of Heaven grace | A |
| And then it seemed there was a lot | F |
| Of trouble round the place | A |
| - | |
| They had me up before the beak | G |
| But though I told my tale | H |
| He sentanced me to spend a week | G |
| In Yard of Scotland Gaol | H |
| So when they kindly set me free | C |
| Please don't think it amiss | A |
| If Battling Bill of Battersea | A |
| For love of all humanity | C |
| Gives you a kiss | A |
