Prophets At Home Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE FGHIJK| Prophets have honour all over the Earth | A |
| Except in the village where they were born | B |
| Where such as knew them boys from birth | A |
| Nature ally hold 'em in scorn | B |
| When Prophets are naughty and young and vain | C |
| They make a won'erful grievance of it | D |
| You can see by their writings how they complain | C |
| But 'tis won'erful good for the Prophet | E |
| - | |
| There's nothing Nineveh Town can give | F |
| Nor being swallowed by whales between | G |
| Makes up for the place where a man's folk live | H |
| Which don't care nothing what he has been | I |
| He might ha' been that or he might ha' been this | J |
| But they love and they hate him for what he is | K |
