Warning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEFGGHFIIH| Virtue is Virtue writ in ink or blood | A |
| And Duty Honour Valour are the same | B |
| Whether they cheer the thundering steps of Fame | B |
| Up echoing hills of Alma or more blest | C |
| Walk with her in that band where she is least | D |
| Thro' smiling plains and cities doing good | E |
| Yet oh to sing them in their happier day | F |
| Yon glebe is not the hind whose manhood mends | G |
| Its rudeness yet it gains but while he spends | G |
| And mulcts him rude Even that sinless Lord | H |
| Whose feet wan Mary washed went not His way | F |
| Uncoloured by the Galilean field | I |
| And Honour Duty Valour seldom wield | I |
| With stainless hand the immedicable sword | H |
