To The Honourable Mrs. Percival. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEFGG HHIIJKLL DDMMNN| And will your Goodness never have an End | A |
| And will you still persist to be my Friend | A |
| To meet me still with that engaging Air | B |
| Still open ardent gen'rous and sincere | C |
| Still to advise to aid to cheer to bless | D |
| Still to prevent or to dispel Distress | D |
| Sollicit for me with unweary'd Zeal | E |
| Pleas'd to succeed nor slacken'd when you fail | F |
| Point out each Path to good Success from far | G |
| And guide me by thy Light my happier Star | G |
| - | |
| When of ungen'rous Minds I Favours ask | H |
| And sink oppress'd beneath the grievous Task | H |
| Hear the false Promise or the feign'd Excuse | I |
| In Words that mean but more refin'd Abuse | I |
| Full in my View thy nobler Soul appears | J |
| And swells my Heart and fills my Eyes with Tears | K |
| Whilst to prevent my Wish your Goodness flies | L |
| Nor one kind Look deceives me from your Eyes | L |
| - | |
| Then let good Heav'n withhold or grant Success | D |
| Add to a Weight of Cares or make it less | D |
| By you protected I no more repine | M |
| How few can boast an Happiness like mine | M |
| A Bliss so great can Wealth or Pow'r impart | N |
| As one fix'd Friend with such a Head and Heart | N |
