Irish Antiquities Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAABABACAC| According to some learned opinions | A |
| The Irish once were Carthaginians | A |
| But trusting to more late descriptions | A |
| I'd rather say they were Egyptians | A |
| My reason's this the Priests of Isis | A |
| When forth they marched in long array | B |
| Employed 'mong other grave devices | A |
| A Sacred Ass to lead the way | B |
| And still the antiquarian traces | A |
| 'Mong Irish Lords this Pagan plan | C |
| For still in all religious cases | A |
| They put Lord Roden in the van | C |
