Causing lighthearted laughter and amusement
Explanation:
In Twain's "The Private History of a campaign that failed," Smith, the blacksmith's apprentice, is given the "ultimate credit" for sticking up to the war, where he was killed.
Below is the exact quotation derived from Twain's story about Smith, the blacksmith's apprentice:
<span>"However, he had one ultimate credit to his account which some of us hadn't. He stuck to the war and was killed in battle at last."</span>
This has the rhyme scheme of a hybrid sonnet, with the rhymes following:
abba abba cdcd ee
The first two stanzas follow the same rhyme pattern-abba abba-with the end words:
skies/face/place/tries
eyes/case/grace/decsries
Then the next quatrain begins a new, more Shakespearean format-cdcd-with the end words:
me/wit/be/yet
Finally, the rhyming couplet at the end finishes the sonnet with 'ee':
posesse/ungratefulnesse
