His Content In The Country Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFFEEFFEEBBGH| HERE Here I live with what my board | A |
| Can with the smallest cost afford | A |
| Though ne'er so mean the viands be | B |
| They well content my Prue and me | B |
| Or pea or bean or wort or beet | C |
| Whatever comes Content makes sweet | C |
| Here we rejoice because no rent | D |
| We pay for our poor tenement | E |
| Wherein we rest and never fear | F |
| The landlord or the usurer | F |
| The quarter day does ne'er affright | E |
| Our peaceful slumbers in the night | E |
| We eat our own and batten more | F |
| Because we feed on no man's score | F |
| But pity those whose flanks grow great | E |
| Swell'd with the lard of other's meat | E |
| We bless our fortunes when we see | B |
| Our own beloved privacy | B |
| And like our living where we're known | G |
| To very few or else to none | H |
