To Her Father With Some Verses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGHH| Most truly honoured and as truly dear | A |
| If worth in me or ought I do appear | A |
| Who can of right better demand the same | B |
| Than may your worthy self from whom it came | B |
| The principal might yield a greater sum | C |
| Yet handled ill amounts but to this crumb | C |
| My stock's so small I know not how to pay | D |
| My bond remains in force unto this day | D |
| Yet for part payment take this simple mite | E |
| Where nothing's to be had kings loose their right | E |
| Such is my debt I may not say forgive | F |
| But as I can I'll pay it while I live | G |
| Such is my bond none can discharge but I | H |
| Yet paying is not paid until I die | H |
