To His Worthy Friend, M. John Hall, Student Of Gray's Inn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEFGGHHIJ

Tell me young man or did the Muses bringA
Thee less to taste than to drink up their springA
That none hereafter should be thought or beB
A poet or a poet like but theeB
What was thy birth thy star that makes thee knownC
At twice ten years a prime and public oneD
Tell us thy nation kindred or the whenceE
Thou had'st and hast thy mighty influenceF
That makes thee lov'd and of the men desir'dG
And no less prais'd than of the maids admiredG
Put on thy laurel then and in that trimH
Be thou Apollo or the type of himH
Or let the unshorn god lend thee his lyreI
And next to him be master of the choirJ

Robert Herrick
