Voxpopuli Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCBADEDFCCEC| What if the Turk be foul or fair Is't known | A |
| That the sublime Samaritan of old | B |
| Withheld his hand till the bruised wretch had told | B |
| His creed Your neighbour's roof is but a shed | C |
| Yet if he burns shall not the flame enfold | B |
| Your palace Saving his you save your own | A |
| Oh ye who fall that Liberty may stand | D |
| The light of coming ages shines before | E |
| Upon your graves Oh ye immortal band | D |
| Whether ye wrestled with this Satan o'er | F |
| A dead dog or the very living head | C |
| Of Freedom every precious drop ye bled | C |
| Is holy 'Tis not for his broken door | E |
| That the stern goodman shoots the burglar dead | C |
