On Seeing A Piece Of Our Artillery Brought Into Action Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBC DEDEFF| Be slowly lifted up thou long black arm | A |
| Great gun towering towards Heaven about to curse | B |
| Sway steep against them and for years rehearse | B |
| Huge imprecations like a blasting charm | A |
| Reach at that Arrogance which needs thy harm | A |
| And beat it down before its sins grow worse | B |
| Spend our resentment cannon yea disburse | B |
| Our gold in shapes of flame our breaths in storm | C |
| - | |
| Yet for men's sakes whom thy vast malison | D |
| Must wither innocent of enmity | E |
| Be not withdrawn dark arm thy spoilure done | D |
| Safe to the bosom of our prosperity | E |
| But when thy spell be cast complete and whole | F |
| May God curse thee and cut thee from our soul | F |
