Rhyme Scheme: ABCDB EFGHF IJKLJ| Two virtues ride by stallion by nag | A |
| To grind our knives and scissors | B |
| Lantern jawed Reason squat Common Sense | C |
| One courting doctors of all sorts | D |
| One housewives and shopkeepers | B |
| - | |
| The trees are lopped the poodles trim | E |
| The laborer's nails pared level | F |
| Since those two civil servants set | G |
| Their whetstone to the blunted edge | H |
| And minced the muddling devil | F |

| Whose owl eyes in the scraggly wood | I |
| Scared mothers to miscarry | J |
| Drove the dogs to cringe and whine | K |
| And turned the farmboy's temper wolfish | L |
| The housewife's desultory | J |
