Written At Lovere, October, 1736 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACCACADD| If age and sickness poverty and pain | A |
| Should each assault me with alternate plagues | B |
| I know mankind is destin'd to complain | A |
| And I submit to torment and fatigues | C |
| The pious farmer who ne'er misses pray'rs | C |
| With patience suffers unexpected rain | A |
| He blesses Heav'n for what its bounty spares | C |
| And sees resign'd a crop of blighted grain | A |
| But spite of sermons farmers would blaspheme | D |
| If a star fell to set their thatch on flame | D |
