Ave Atque Vale: 12 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDEFFFF| But by no hand nor any treason stricken | A |
| Not like the low lying head of Him the King | B |
| The flame that made of Troy a ruinous thing | B |
| Thou liest and on this dust no tears could quicken | A |
| There fall no tears like theirs that all men hear | C |
| Fall tear by sweet imperishable tear | D |
| Down the opening leaves of holy poets' pages | E |
| Thee not Orestes not Electra mourns | F |
| But bending us ward with memorial urns | F |
| The most high Muses that fulfil all ages | F |
| Weep and our God's heart yearns | F |
