Petition Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEEGHEEIJ

Sir no man's enemy forgiving allA
But will his negative inversion be prodigalB
Send to us power and light a sovereign touchC
Curing the intolerable neural itchD
The exhaustion of weaning the liar's quinsyE
And the distortions of ingrown virginityF
Prohibit sharply the rehearsed responseE
And gradually correct the coward's stanceE
Cover in time with beams those in retreatG
That spotted they turn though the reverse were greatH
Publish each healer that in city livesE
Or country houses at the end of drivesE
Harrow the house of the dead look shining atI
New styles of architecture a change of heartJ
