Christmas (i) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HI| After all pleasures as I rid one day | A |
| My horse and I both tired body and mind | B |
| With full cry of affections quite astray | A |
| I took up the next inn I could find | B |
| - | |
| There when I came whom found I but my dear | C |
| My dearest Lord expecting till the grief | D |
| Of pleasures brought me to Him ready there | E |
| To be all passengers' most sweet relief | D |
| - | |
| Oh Thou whose glorious yet contracted light | F |
| Wrapt in night's mantle stole into a manger | G |
| Since my dark soul and brutish is Thy right | F |
| To man of all beasts be not Thou a stranger | G |
| - | |
| Furnish and deck my soul that Thou mayst have | H |
| A better lodging than a rack or grave | I |
