Thomas Heywood: X Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBDEFGEFG| TOM if they loved thee best who called thee Tom | A |
| What else may all men call thee seeing thus bright | B |
| Even yet the laughing and the weeping light | B |
| That still thy kind old eyes are kindled from | C |
| Small care was thine to assail and overcome | C |
| Time and his child Oblivion yet of right | B |
| Thy name has part with names of lordlier might | B |
| For English love and homely sense of home | D |
| Whose fragrance keeps thy small sweet bayleaf young | E |
| And gives it place aloft among thy peers | F |
| Whence many a wreath once higher strong Time has hurled | G |
| And this thy praise is sweet on Shakespeare s tongue | E |
| O good old man how well in thee appears | F |
| The constant service of the antique world | G |
