The Pibroch's Note Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEFEGHThe pibroch's note discountenanced or mute | A |
The Roman kilt degraded to a toy | B |
Of quaint apparel for a half spoilt boy | B |
The target mouldering like ungathered fruit | A |
The smoking steam boat eager in pursuit | A |
As eagerly pursued the umbrella spread | C |
To weather fend the Celtic herdsman's head | C |
All speak of manners withering to the root | A |
And of old honours too and passions high | D |
Then may we ask though pleased that thought should range | E |
Among the conquests of civility | F |
Survives imagination to the change | E |
Superior Help to virtue does she give | G |
If not O Mortals better cease to live | H |
