Dear Jack Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDD EEF GG| Dear Jack this white mug that with Guinness I fill | A |
| And drink to the health of sweet Nan of the Hill | A |
| Was once Tommy Tosspot's as jovial a sot | B |
| As e'er drew a spigot or drain'd a full pot | C |
| In drinking all round 'twas his joy to surpass | D |
| And with all merry tipplers he swigg'd off his glass | D |
| - | |
| One morning in summer while seated so snug | E |
| In the porch of his garden discussing his jug | E |
| Stern Death on a sudden to Tom did appear | F |
| And said 'Honest Thomas come take your last bier ' | - |
| We kneaded his clay in the shape of this can | G |
| From which let us drink to the health of my Nan | G |
