Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAABB| 'Tis not the food but the content | A |
| That makes the table's merriment | A |
| Where trouble serves the board we eat | A |
| The platters there as soon as meat | A |
| A little pipkin with a bit | A |
| Of mutton or of veal in it | A |
| Set on my table trouble free | B |
| More than a feast contenteth me | B |
