A New Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HIHI JKJK LILI MNMN| Ah blame me not Catcott if from the right way | A |
| My notions and actions run far | B |
| How can my ideas do other but stray | A |
| Deprived of their ruling North Star | B |
| - | |
| A blame me not Broderip if mounted aloft | C |
| I chatter and spoil the dull air | D |
| How can I imagine thy foppery soft | E |
| When discord's the voice of my fair | D |
| - | |
| If Turner remitted my bluster and rhymes | F |
| If Hardind was girlish and cold | G |
| If never an ogle was got from Miss Grimes | F |
| If Flavia was blasted and old | G |
| - | |
| I chose without liking and left without pain | H |
| Nor welcomed the frown with a sigh | I |
| I scorned like a monkey to dangle my chain | H |
| And paint them new charms with a lie | I |
| - | |
| Once Cotton was handsome I flam'd and I burn'd | J |
| I died to obtain the bright queen | K |
| But when I beheld my epistle return'd | J |
| By Jesu it alter'd the scene | K |
| - | |
| She's damnable ugly my Vanity cried | L |
| You lie says my Conscience you lie | I |
| Resolving to follow the dictates of Pride | L |
| I'd view her a hag to my eye | I |
| - | |
| But should she regain her bright lustre again | M |
| And shine in her natural charms | N |
| 'Tis but to accept of the works of my pen | M |
| And permit me to use my own arms | N |
