Hold Your Mad Hands Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCDEFFDEGH| Hold your mad hands for ever on your plain | A |
| Must the gorged vulture clog his beak with blood | B |
| For ever must your Niger's tainted flood | B |
| Roll to the ravenous shark his banquet slain | A |
| Hold your mad hands and learn at length to know | C |
| And turn your vengeance on the common foe | C |
| Yon treacherous vessel and her godless crew | D |
| Let never traders with false pretext fair | E |
| Set on your shores again their wicked feet | F |
| With interdict and indignation meet | F |
| Repel them and with fire and sword pursue | D |
| Avarice the white cadaverous fiend is there | E |
| Who spreads his toils accursed wide and far | G |
| And for his purveyor calls the demon War | H |
