To My Book Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFAG| It will be looked for book when some but see | A |
| Thy title Epigrams and named of me | A |
| Thou should'st be bold licentious full of gall | B |
| Wormwood and sulphur sharp and toothed withal | B |
| Become a petulant thing hurl ink and wit | C |
| As madmen stones not caring whom they hit | C |
| Deceive their malice who could wish it so | D |
| And by thy wiser temper let men know | D |
| Thou art not covetous of least self fame | E |
| Made from the hazard of another's shame | E |
| Much less with lewd profane and beastly phrase | F |
| To catch the world's loose laughter or vain gaze | F |
| He that departs with his own honesty | A |
| For vulgar praise doth it too dearly buy | G |
