Identify the eye rhymes in this excerpt from “The Brigs of Ayr” by Robert Burns.
The simple Bard, rough at the rustic (plough,)
Learning his tuneful trade from (ev'ry) bough;
The chanting linnet, or the mellow (thrush,)
Hailing the setting sun, sweet, in the green thorn (bush;)
The soaring lark, the perching red-breast (shrill),
Or deep-ton'd plovers grey, wild-whistling o'er the (hill)
Shall he-nurst in the peasant's lowly (shed,)
To hardy independence bravely (bred,)
By early poverty to hardship (steel'd).
