The Peter-penny Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABCDB EEBFFB GGBHHB

Fresh strewings allowA
To my sepulchre nowA
To make my lodging the sweeterB
A staff or a wandC
Put then in my handD
With a penny to pay S PeterB
-
Who has not a crossE
Must sit with the lossE
And no whit further must ventureB
Since the porter heF
Will paid have his feeF
Or else not one there must enterB
-
Who at a dead liftG
Can't send for a giftG
A pig to the priest for a roasterB
Shall hear his clerk sayH
By yea and by nayH
No penny no paternosterB
