Petition Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEEGHEEIJSir no man's enemy forgiving all | A |
But will his negative inversion be prodigal | B |
Send to us power and light a sovereign touch | C |
Curing the intolerable neural itch | D |
The exhaustion of weaning the liar's quinsy | E |
And the distortions of ingrown virginity | F |
Prohibit sharply the rehearsed response | E |
And gradually correct the coward's stance | E |
Cover in time with beams those in retreat | G |
That spotted they turn though the reverse were great | H |
Publish each healer that in city lives | E |
Or country houses at the end of drives | E |
Harrow the house of the dead look shining at | I |
New styles of architecture a change of heart | J |
