A Prayer For Old Age Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HIJD

God guard me from those thoughts men thinkA
In the mind aloneB
He that sings a lasting songC
Thinks in a marrow boneB
-
From all that makes a wise old manD
That can be praised of allE
O what am I that I should not seemF
For the song's sake a foolG
-
I pray for word is outH
And prayer comes round againI
That I may seem though I die oldJ
A foolish passionate manD
