An Answer To A Friend's Question Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGAA| The 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 |
