London Types - X. News-boy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHH| Take any station pavement circus corner | A |
| Where men their styles of print may call or choose | B |
| And there ten times more on it than JACK HORNER | A |
| There shall you find him swathed in sheets of news | B |
| Nothing can stay the placing of his wares | C |
| Not bus nor cab nor dray The very Slop | D |
| That imp of power is powerless Ever he dares | C |
| And daring lands his public neck and crop | D |
| Even the many tortured London ear | E |
| The much enduring loathes his Speeshul yell | F |
| His shriek of Winnur But his dart and leer | E |
| And poise are irresistible PALL MALL | G |
| Joys in him and MILE END for his vocation | H |
| Is to purvey the stuff of conversation | H |
