The Conclusion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFGHHIIDDJKLL MNOOLP| Sleep not too much nor longer than asleep | A |
| Within thy bed thy lazy body keep | A |
| For when thou warm awake shall feel it soft | B |
| Fond cogitations will assail thee oft | C |
| Then start up early study work or write | D |
| Let labour others' toil be thy delight | D |
| Eat not to much or if thou much dost eat | E |
| Let it not be dainty or stirring meat | E |
| Abstain from wine although thou think it good | F |
| It sets thy meat on fire and stirs thy blood | G |
| Use thyself much to bathe thy wanton limbs | H |
| In coolest streams which o'er the gravel swims | H |
| Be still in gravest company and fly | I |
| The wanton rabble of the younger fry | I |
| Whose lustful tricks will lead thee to delight | D |
| To think on love where thou shalt perish quite | D |
| Come not at all where many women are | J |
| But like a bird that lately 'scaped the snare | K |
| Avoid their garish beauty fly with speed | L |
| And learn by her that lately made thee bleed | L |
| Be not too much alone but if alone | M |
| Get thee some modest book to look upon | N |
| But do not read the lines of wanton men | O |
| Poetry sets thy mind on fire again | O |
| Abstain from songs and verses and take heed | L |
| That not a line of love thou ever read | P |
