New Prince, New Pomp Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFFGGHH| Behold a silly tender Babe in freezing winter night | A |
| In homely manger trembling lies alas a piteous sight | A |
| The inns are full no man will yield this little Pilgrim bed | B |
| But forced He is with silly beasts in crib to shroud His head | B |
| Despise Him not for lying there first what He is enquire | C |
| An orient pearl is often found in depth of dirty mire | D |
| Weigh not His crib His wooden dish nor beasts that by Him feed | E |
| Weigh not His mother's poor attire nor Joseph's simple weed | E |
| This stable is a Prince's court the crib His chair of state | F |
| The beasts are parcel of His pomp the wooden dish His plate | F |
| The persons in that poor attire His royal liveries wear | G |
| The Prince Himself is come from heaven this pomp is prized there | G |
| With joy approach O Christian wight do homage to thy King | H |
| And highly prize this humble pomp which He from heaven doth bring | H |
