The Hottentot Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBADEDFGG| Mild melancholy and sedate he stands | A |
| Tending another's flock upon the fields | B |
| His father's once where now the White Man builds | C |
| His home and issues forth his proud commands | A |
| His dark eye flashes not his listless hands | A |
| Lean on the shepherd's staff no more he wields | B |
| The Libyan bow but to th' oppressor yields | B |
| Submissively his freedom and his lands | A |
| Has he no courage Once he had but lo | D |
| Harsh Servitude hath worn him to the bone | E |
| No enterprise Alas the brand the blow | D |
| Have humbled him to dust even hope is gone | F |
| He's a base hearted hound not worth his food | G |
| His Master cries he has no gratitude | G |
