On Another Window[1] Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCCCDDEE| A bard on whom Phoebus his spirit bestow'd | A |
| Resolving t'acknowledge the bounty he owed | A |
| Found out a new method at once of confessing | B |
| And making the most of so mighty a blessing | B |
| To the God he'd be grateful but mortals he'd chouse | C |
| By making his patron preside in his house | C |
| And wisely foresaw this advantage from thence | C |
| That the God would in honour bear most of th'expense | C |
| So the bard he finds drink and leaves Phoebus to treat | D |
| With the thoughts he inspires regardless of meat | D |
| Hence they that come hither expecting to dine | E |
| Are always fobb'd off with sheer wit and sheer wine | E |
