Verses Left By Mr. Pope Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGHG| With no poetic ardour fir'd | A |
| I press the bed where Wilmot lay | B |
| That here he lov'd or here expir'd | C |
| Begets no numbers grave or gay | B |
| - | |
| Beneath thy roof Argyle are bred | D |
| Such thoughts as prompt the brave to lie | E |
| Stretch'd out in honour's nobler bed | D |
| Beneath a nobler roof the sky | E |
| - | |
| Such flames as high in patriots burn | F |
| Yet stoop to bless a child or wife | G |
| And such as wicked kings may mourn | H |
| When freedom is more dear than life | G |
