Occasioned By The Battle Of Waterloo Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEFGEFG| Intrepid sons of Albion not by you | A |
| Is life despised ah no the spacious earth | B |
| Ne'er saw a race who held by right of birth | B |
| So many objects to which love is due | A |
| Ye slight not life to God and Nature true | A |
| But death becoming death is dearer far | C |
| When duty bids you bleed in open war | D |
| Hence hath your prowess quelled that impious crew | A |
| Heroes for instant sacrifice prepared | E |
| Yet filled with ardour and on triumph bent | F |
| 'Mid direst shocks of mortal accident | G |
| To you who fell and you whom slaughter spared | E |
| To guard the fallen and consummate the event | F |
| Your Country rears this sacred Monument | G |
