Spoken Of Several Philosophers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECCD| I pray you all ye men who put your trust | A |
| In moulds and systems and well tackled gear | B |
| Holding that Nature lives from year to year | B |
| In one continual round because she must | A |
| Set me not down I pray you in the dust | A |
| Of all these centuries like a pot of beer | B |
| A pewter pot disconsolately clear | B |
| Which holds a potful as is right and just | A |
| I will grow clamorous by the rood I will | C |
| If thus ye use me like a pewter pot | D |
| Good friend thou art a toper and a sot | E |
| will not be the lead to hold thy swill | C |
| Nor any lead I will arise and spill | C |
| Thy silly beverage spill it piping hot | D |
