London Types - Vii. 'lady' Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Time the old humourist has a trick to day | A |
| Of moving landmarks and of levelling down | B |
| Till into Town the Suburbs edge their way | A |
| And in the Suburbs you may scent the Town | B |
| With MOUNT ST thus approaching MUSWELL HILL | C |
| And CLAPHAM COMMON marching with the MILE | D |
| You get a HAMMERSMITH that fills the bill | C |
| A HAMPSTEAD with a serious sense of style | D |
| So this fair creature pictured in THE ROW | E |
| As one of that 'gay adulterous world ' whose round | F |
| Is by the SERPENTINE as well would show | E |
| And might I deem as readily be found | F |
| On STREATHAM'S HILL or WIMBLEDON'S or where | G |
| Brixtonian kitchens lard the late dining air | G |
