Happy The Man Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD

Happy the man and happy he aloneA
He who can call today his ownA
He who secure within can sayB
Tomorrow do thy worst for I have lived todayB
Be fair or foul or rain or shineC
The joys I have possessed in spite of fate are mineC
Not Heaven itself upon the past has powerD
But what has been has been and I have had my hourD

John Dryden
