I Would Not Be A King Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDEFG

I would not be a king enoughA
Of woe it is to loveB
The path to power is steep and roughA
And tempests reign aboveB
I would not climb the imperial throneC
Tis built on ice which fortune s sunD
Thaws in the height of noonE
Then farewell king yet were I oneD
Care would not come so soonE
Would he and I were far awayF
Keeping flocks on HimalayG
