Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEDD DDFFGHIIJJ| Ah Ben | A |
| Say how or when | A |
| Shall we thy guests | B |
| Meet at those lyric feasts | C |
| Made at the Sun | D |
| The Dog the Triple Tun | D |
| Where we such clusters had | E |
| As made us nobly wild not mad | E |
| And yet each verse of thine | D |
| Out did the meat out did the frolic wine | D |
| - | |
| My Ben | D |
| Or come again | D |
| Or send to us | F |
| Thy wit's great overplus | F |
| But teach us yet | G |
| Wisely to husband it | H |
| Lest we that talent spend | I |
| And having once brought to an end | I |
| That precious stock the store | J |
| Of such a wit the world should have no more | J |
Robert Herrick
