Consolation Of Early Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHGGIGBJKLMNOF PQG| Sweet prince the name of Death was never terrible | A |
| To him that knew to live nor the loud torrent | B |
| Of all afflictions singing as they swim | C |
| A gall of heart but to a guilty conscience | D |
| Whilst we stand fair though by a two edged storm | E |
| We find untimely falls like early roses | F |
| Bent to the earth we bear our native sweetness | G |
| When we are little children | H |
| And cry and fret for every toy comes 'cross us | G |
| How sweetly do we shew when sleep steals on us | G |
| When we grow great but our affection greater | I |
| And struggle with this stubborn twin born with us | G |
| And tug and pull yet still we find a giant | B |
| Had we not then the privilege to sleep | J |
| Our everlasting sleep he would make us idiots | K |
| The memory and monuments of good men | L |
| Are more than lives and though their tombs want tongues | M |
| Yet have they eyes that daily sweat their losses | N |
| And such a tear from stone no time can value | O |
| To die both young and good are Nature's curses | F |
| As the world says ask Truth they are bounteous blessings | P |
| For then we reach at heaven in our full virtues | Q |
| And fix ourselves new stars crown'd with our goodness | G |
