The Sluggard Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFG HIJIKLHL| A jar of cider and my pipe | A |
| In summer under shady tree | B |
| A book by one that made his mind | C |
| Live by its sweet simplicity | B |
| Then must I laugh at kings who sit | D |
| In richest chambers signing scrolls | E |
| And princes cheered in public ways | F |
| And stared at by a thousand fools | G |
| - | |
| Let me be free to wear my dreams | H |
| Like weeds in some mad maiden's hair | I |
| When she believes the earth has not | J |
| Another maid so rich and fair | I |
| And proudly smiles on rich and poor | K |
| The queen of all fair women then | L |
| So I dressen in my idle dreams | H |
| Will think myself the king of men | L |
