A Plea For Authors, May 1838 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBABBADEFDGG| Failing impartial measure to dispense | A |
| To every suitor Equity is lame | B |
| And social Justice stript of reverence | C |
| For natural rights a mockery and a shame | B |
| Law but a servile dupe of false pretense | A |
| If guarding grossest things from common claim | B |
| Now and for ever She to works that came | B |
| From mind and spirit grudge a short lived fence | A |
| What lengthened privilege a lineal tie | D |
| For 'Books' Yes heartless Ones or be it proved | E |
| That 'tis a fault in Us to have lived and loved | F |
| Like others with like temporal hopes to die | D |
| No public harm that Genius from her course | G |
| Be turned and streams of truth dried up even at their source | G |
