Petition Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEEGHEEIJ| Sir 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 |
