To The Genius Of His House Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEFFAAAAGG| Command the roof great Genius and from thence | A |
| Into this house pour down thy influence | B |
| That through each room a golden pipe may run | C |
| Of living water by thy benizon | C |
| Fulfil the larders and with strength'ning bread | D |
| Be ever more these bins replenished | E |
| Next like a bishop consecrate my ground | F |
| That lucky fairies here may dance their round | F |
| And after that lay down some silver pence | A |
| The master's charge and care to recompence | A |
| Charm then the chambers make the beds for ease | A |
| More than for peevish pining sicknesses | A |
| Fix the foundation fast and let the roof | G |
| Grow old with time but yet keep weather proof | G |
