London Types: Mounted Police Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCDEDEFF| Army Reserve a worshipper of Bobs | A |
| With whom he stripped the smock from Candahar | B |
| Neat as his mount that neatest among cobs | A |
| Whenever pageants pass or meetings are | B |
| He moves conspicuous vigilant severe | B |
| With his Light Cavalry hand and seat and look | C |
| A living type of Order in whose sphere | B |
| Is room for neither Hooligan nor Hook | C |
| For in his shadow wheresoe'er he ride | D |
| Paces all eye and hardihood and grip | E |
| The dreaded Crusher might in his every stride | D |
| And right materialized girt at his hip | E |
| And they that shake to see these twain go by | F |
| Feel that the Tec that plain clothes Terror is nigh | F |
