To My Friend M. Ben Jonson, Upon His Catiline Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEE| If thou hadst itch'd after the wild applause | A |
| Of common people and hadst made thy laws | A |
| In writing such as catch'd at present voice | B |
| I should commend the thing but not thy choice | B |
| But thou hast squared thy rules by what is good | C |
| And art three ages yet from understood | C |
| And I dare say in it there lies much wit | D |
| Lost till the reader can grow up to it | D |
| Which they can ne'er outgrow to find it ill | E |
| But must fall back again or like it still | E |
