To Mr. I. P. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEFFGGHHCCIIJJKK| BLEST are your north parts for all this long time | A |
| My sun is with you cold and dark's our clime | A |
| Heaven's sun which stay'd so long from us this year | B |
| Stay'd in your north I think for she was there | C |
| And hither by kind nature drawn from thence | D |
| Here rages chafes and threatens pestilence | E |
| Yet I as long as she from hence doth stay | F |
| Think this no south no summer nor no day | F |
| With thee my kind and unkind heart is run | G |
| There sacrifice it to that beauteous sun | G |
| So may thy pastures with their flowery feasts | H |
| As suddenly as lard fat thy lean beasts | H |
| So may thy woods oft poll'd yet ever wear | C |
| A green and when thee list a golden hair | C |
| So may all thy sheep bring forth twins and so | I |
| In chase and race may thy horse all out go | I |
| So may thy love and courage ne'er be cold | J |
| Thy son ne'er ward thy loved wife ne'er seem old | J |
| But mayst thou wish great things and them attain | K |
| As thou tell'st her and none but her my pain | K |
