I Grieved For Buonaparte Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACACDEEDED| I GRIEVED for Buonaparte with a vain | A |
| And an unthinking grief The tenderest mood | B |
| Of that Man's mind what can it be what food | B |
| Fed his first hopes what knowledge could 'he' gain | A |
| 'Tis not in battles that from youth we train | A |
| The Governor who must be wise and good | C |
| And temper with the sternness of the brain | A |
| Thoughts motherly and meek as womanhood | C |
| Wisdom doth live with children round her knees | D |
| Books leisure perfect freedom and the talk | E |
| Man holds with week day man in the hourly walk | E |
| Of the mind's business these are the degrees | D |
| By which true Sway doth mount this is the stalk | E |
| True Power doth grow on and her rights are these | D |
