Chase Henry Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJK

In life I was the town drunkardA
When I died the priest denied me burialB
In holy groundC
The which redounded to my good fortuneD
For the Protestants bought this lotE
And buried my body hereF
Close to the grave of the banker NicholasG
And of his wife PriscillaH
Take note ye prudent and pious soulsI
Of the cross currents in lifeJ
Which bring honor to the dead who lived in shameK
