On The Archbishop Of Cashel,[1] And Bettesworth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFFGGDDHI| Dear Dick pr'ythee tell by what passion you move | A |
| The world is in doubt whether hatred or love | B |
| And while at good Cashel you rail with such spite | C |
| They shrewdly suspect it is all but a bite | C |
| You certainly know though so loudly you vapour | D |
| His spite cannot wound who attempted the Drapier | D |
| Then pr'ythee reflect take a word of advice | E |
| And as your old wont is change sides in a trice | E |
| On his virtues hold forth 'tis the very best way | F |
| And say of the man what all honest men say | F |
| But if still obdurate your anger remains | G |
| If still your foul bosom more rancour contains | G |
| Say then more than they nay lavishly flatter | D |
| Tis your gross panegyrics alone can bespatter | D |
| For thine my dear Dick give me leave to speak plain | H |
| Like very foul mops dirty more than they clean | I |
