The Passing Of œdipous'(œd. Col., 1655-1666.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDADE| How OElig dipous departed who may tell | A |
| Save Theseus only for there neither came | B |
| The burning bolt of thunder and the flame | B |
| To blast him into nothing nor the swell | A |
| Of sea tide spurred by tempest on him fell | A |
| But some diviner herald none may name | B |
| Called him or inmost Earth's abyss became | B |
| The painless place where such a soul might dwell | A |
| - | |
| Howe'er it chanced untouched of malady | C |
| Unharmed by fear unfollowed by lament | D |
| With comfort on the twilight way he went | D |
| Passing if ever man did wondrously | A |
| From this world's death to life divinely rent | D |
| Unschooled in Time's last lesson how we die | E |
