A Crocodile Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFBGHIJKB| d along | A |
| The brown habergeon of his limbs enamelled | B |
| With sanguine almandines and rainy pearl | C |
| And on his back there lay a young one sleeping | D |
| No bigger than a mouse with eyes like beads | E |
| And a small fragment of its speckled egg | F |
| Remaining on its harmless pulpy snout | B |
| A thing to laugh at as it gaped to catch | G |
| The baulking merry flies In the iron jaws | H |
| Of the great devil beast like a pale soul | I |
| Fluttering in rocky hell lightsomely flew | J |
| A snowy trochilus with roseate beak | K |
| Tearing the hairy leeches from his throat | B |
