Cast Our Caps And Cares Away Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCCCDEEFFGGHHIIJ JCast our cares and caps away | A |
This is beggars' holiday | A |
At the crowning of our king | B |
Thus we ever dance and sing | B |
In the world look out and see | C |
Where so happy a prince as he | C |
Where the nation lives so free | C |
And as merry as do we | C |
Here at liberty we are | D |
And enjoy our ease and rest | E |
To the field we are not pressed | E |
Nor are called into the town | F |
To be troubled with the gown | F |
Hang all offices we cry | G |
And the magistrate too by | G |
When the subsidy's increased | H |
We are not a penny sessed | H |
Nor will any go to law | I |
With the beggar for a straw | I |
All which happiness he brags | J |
He doth owe unto his rags | J |
