The Means To Attain Happy Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EDED FGFG

Martial the things that do attainA
The happy life be these I findB
The richesse left not got with painA
The fruitful ground the quiet mindB
-
The equal friend no grudge no strifeC
No charge of rule nor governanceD
Without disease the healthful lifeC
The household of continuanceD
-
The mean diet no delicate fareE
True wisdom join'd with simplenessD
The night discharg egrave d of all careE
Where wine the wit may not oppressD
-
The faithful wife without debateF
Such sleeps as may beguile the nightG
Contented with thine own estateF
Ne wish for death ne fear his mightG
