Part Of The Ninth Ode Of The Fourth Book Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GGHH

Lest you should think that verse shall dieA
Which sounds the silver Thames alongB
Taught on the wings of truth to flyA
Above the reach of vulgar songB
-
Though daring Milton sits sublimeC
In Spenser native Muses playD
Nor yet shall Waller yield to timeC
Nor pensive Cowley's moral layD
-
Sages and chiefs long since had birthE
Ere Caesar was or Newton namedF
These raised new empires o'er the earthE
And those new heavens and systems framedF
-
Vain was the chief's the sage's prideG
They had no poet and they diedG
In vain they schemed in vain they bledH
They had no poet and are deadH
