To A Person Who Wrote Ill, And Spake Worse, Against Me Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDBEFE| Lie Philo untouch'd on my peaceable shelf | A |
| Nor take it amiss that so little I heed thee | B |
| I've no envy to thee and some love to myself | A |
| Then why should I answer since first I must read thee | B |
| Drunk with Helicon's waters and double brew'd bub | C |
| Be a linguist a poet a critic a wag | D |
| To the solid delight of thy well judging club | C |
| To the damage alone of thy bookseller Brag | D |
| Pursue me with satire what harm is there in't | B |
| But from all viva voce reflection forbear | E |
| There can be no danger from what thou shalt print | F |
| There may be a little from what thou may'st swear | E |
