Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGHH| Come skilful Lupo now and take | A |
| Thy bice thy umber pink and lake | A |
| And let it be thy pencil's strife | B |
| To paint a Bridgeman to the life | B |
| Draw him as like too as you can | C |
| An old poor lying flattering man | C |
| His cheeks bepimpled red and blue | D |
| His nose and lips of mulberry hue | D |
| Then for an easy fancy place | E |
| A burling iron for his face | E |
| Next make his cheeks with breath to swell | F |
| And for to speak if possible | G |
| But do not so for fear lest he | H |
| Should by his breathing poison thee | H |
Robert Herrick
