An Answer To A Friend's Question Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGAAThe furniture that best doth please | A |
St Patrick's Dean good Sir are these | A |
The knife and fork with which I eat | B |
And next the pot that boils the meat | B |
The next to be preferr'd I think | C |
Is the glass in which I drink | C |
The shelves on which my books I keep | D |
And the bed on which I sleep | D |
An antique elbow chair between | E |
Big enough to hold the Dean | E |
And the stove that gives delight | F |
In the cold bleak wintry night | F |
To these we add a thing below | G |
More for use reserved than show | G |
These are what the Dean do please | A |
All superfluous are but these | A |
