Home Delights Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGEEHHII EE| To operas and balls my cousins take me | A |
| And fond of plays my new made friend would make me | A |
| In summer season when the days are fair | B |
| In my godmother's coach I take the air | B |
| My uncle has a stately pleasure barge | C |
| Gilded and gay adorned with wondrous charge | C |
| The mast is polished and the sails are fine | D |
| The awnings of white silk like silver shine | D |
| The seats of crimson satin where the rowers | E |
| Keep time to music with their painted oars | E |
| In this on holidays we oft resort | F |
| To Richmond Twickenham or to Hampton Court | F |
| By turns we play we sing one baits the hook | G |
| Another angles some more idle look | G |
| At the small fry that sport beneath the tides | E |
| Or at the swan that on the surface glides | E |
| My married sister says there is no feast | H |
| Equal to sight of foreign bird or beast | H |
| With her in search of these I often roam | I |
| My kinder parents make me blest at home | I |
| Tired of excursions visitings and sights | E |
| No joys are pleasing to these home delights | E |
