Horatio Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DADAEE FAFGHH IJIJKL| His portrait hung upon the wall | A |
| Oh how at us he used to stare | B |
| Each Sunday when I made my call | A |
| And when one day it wasn't there | B |
| Quite quick I seemed to understand | C |
| The light was green to hold her hand | C |
| - | |
| Her eyes were amorously lit | D |
| I knew she wouldn't mind at all | A |
| Yet what I did was sit and sit | D |
| Seeing that blankness on the wall | A |
| Horatio had a gentle face | E |
| How would my mug look in his place | E |
| - | |
| That oblong of wall paper wan | F |
| And while she prattled prettily | A |
| I sensed the red light going on | F |
| So I refused a cup of tea | G |
| And took my gold topped cane and hat | H |
| My going seemed to leave her flat | H |
| - | |
| Horatio was a decent guy | I |
| And when she ravished from her heart | J |
| A damsite better man than I | I |
| She seemed to me well just a tart | J |
| Her lack of tact I can't explain | K |
| His picture is it hung again | L |
