To Mr.t.w. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABC DEE FFF GGGHH| PREGNANT again with th' old twins Hope and Fear | A |
| Oft have I asked for thee both how and where | B |
| Thou wert and what my hopes of letters were | C |
| - | |
| As in our streets sly beggars narrowly | D |
| Watch motions of the giver's hand or eye | E |
| And evermore conceive some hope thereby | E |
| - | |
| And now thy alms is given thy letter's read | F |
| The body risen again the which was dead | F |
| And thy poor starveling bountifully fed | F |
| - | |
| After this banquet my soul doth say grace | G |
| And praise thee for 't and zealously embrace | G |
| Thy love though I think thy love in this case | G |
| To be as gluttons which say 'midst their meat | H |
| They love that best of which they most do eat | H |
