A Hymn To The Lares Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBBBCCCCCCAADDEC| It was and still my care is | A |
| To worship ye the Lares | A |
| With crowns of greenest parsley | B |
| And garlic chives not scarcely | B |
| For favours here to warm me | B |
| And not by fire to harm me | B |
| For gladding so my hearth here | C |
| With inoffensive mirth here | C |
| That while the wassail bowl here | C |
| With North down ale doth troul here | C |
| No syllable doth fall here | C |
| To mar the mirth at all here | C |
| For which O chimney keepers | A |
| I dare not call ye sweepers | A |
| So long as I am able | D |
| To keep a country table | D |
| Great be my fare or small cheer | E |
| I'll eat and drink up all here | C |
Robert Herrick
