On A Portrait Of The Duke Of Wellington Upon The Field Of Waterloo, By Haydon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBCBDEDFFE| By Art's bold privilege Warrior and War horse stand | A |
| On ground yet strewn with their last battle's wreck | B |
| Let the Steed glory while his Master's hand | A |
| Lies fixed for ages on his conscious neck | B |
| But by the Chieftain's look though at his side | C |
| Hangs that day's treasured sword how firm a check | B |
| Is given to triumph and all human pride | C |
| Yon trophied Mound shrinks to a shadowy speck | B |
| In his calm presence Him the mighty deed | D |
| Elates not brought far nearer the grave's rest | E |
| As shows that time worn face for he such seed | D |
| Has sown as yields we trust the fruit of fame | F |
| In Heaven hence no one blushes for thy name | F |
| Conqueror 'mid some sad thoughts divinely blest | E |
