To William Camden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGF| Camden most reverend head to whom I owe | A |
| All that I am in arts all that I know | A |
| How nothing's that to whom my country owes | B |
| The great renown and name wherewith she goes | B |
| Than thee the age sees not that thing more grave | C |
| More high more holy that she more would crave | C |
| What name what skill what faith hast thou in things | D |
| What sight in searching the most antique springs | D |
| What weight and what authority in thy speech | E |
| Man scarce can make that doubt but thou canst teach | E |
| Pardon free truth and let thy modesty | F |
| Which conquers all be once o'ercome by thee | F |
| Many of thine this better could than I | G |
| But for their powers accept my piety | F |
