The Fable Of The Peasant And His Landlord.[1] Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFF| A Peasant to his lord yearly court | A |
| Presenting pippins of so rich a sort | A |
| That he displeased to have a part alone | B |
| Removed the tree that all might be his own | B |
| The tree too old to travel though before | C |
| So fruitful withered and would yield no more | C |
| The squire perceiving all his labour void | D |
| Cursed his own pains so foolishly employed | D |
| And Oh he cried that I had lived content | E |
| With tribute small indeed but kindly meant | E |
| My avarice has expensive proved to me | F |
| Has cost me both my pippins and my tree | F |
