Calais, August 1802 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDC DCD| IS it a reed that's shaken by the wind | A |
| Or what is it that ye go forth to see | B |
| Lords lawyers statesmen squires of low degree | B |
| Men known and men unknown sick lame and blind | A |
| Post forward all like creatures of one kind | A |
| With first fruit offerings crowd to bend the knee | B |
| In France before the new born Majesty | B |
| 'Tis ever thus Ye men of prostrate mind | A |
| A seemly reverence may be paid to power | C |
| But that's a loyal virtue never sown | D |
| In haste nor springing with a transient shower | C |
| - | |
| When truth when sense when liberty were flown | D |
| What hardship had it been to wait an hour | C |
| Shame on you feeble Heads to slavery prone | D |
