My Neighbors Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABACAC DEDEFGFG

To rest my fagged brain now and thenA
When wearied of my proper laborsB
I lay aside my lagging penA
And get to thinking on my neighborsB
For oh around my garret denA
There's woe and poverty a plentyC
And life's so interesting whenA
A lad is only two and twentyC
-
Now there's that artist gaunt and wanD
A little card his door adorningE
It reads Je ne suis pour personneD
A very frank and fitting warningE
I fear he's in a sorry plightF
He starves I think too proud to borrowG
I hear him moaning every nightF
Maybe they'll find him dead to morrowG
