To His Peculiar Friend, Mr John Wicks Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFGHHIIEE| Since shed or cottage I have none | A |
| I sing the more that thou hast one | A |
| To whose glad threshold and free door | B |
| I may a Poet come though poor | C |
| And eat with thee a savoury bit | D |
| Paying but common thanks for it | D |
| Yet should I chance my Wicks to see | E |
| An over leaven look in thee | E |
| To sour the bread and turn the beer | F |
| To an exalted vinegar | G |
| Or should'st thou prize me as a dish | H |
| Of thrice boil'd worts or third day's fish | H |
| I'd rather hungry go and come | I |
| Than to thy house be burdensome | I |
| Yet in my depth of grief I'd be | E |
| One that should drop his beads for thee | E |
Robert Herrick
