Gray Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFFGG| The loud apt epithet applying sure | A |
| The dim drawn image artfully obscure | A |
| The perfect stanza framed of words as choice | B |
| And round as pearls yet liquid to the voice | B |
| A pith of phrase and musical array | C |
| Of numbers these are the prime charms of Gray | C |
| - | |
| The naked majesty and open wonder | D |
| Of true sublimity heaped in lines of thunder | D |
| That artless grace wherewith the olden time | E |
| Dandled the happy infancy of Rhyme | E |
| That negligent melody which shames the trick | F |
| Of wire drawn verse and verse drawn rhetoric | F |
| These in our rich old Bards abound but these | G |
| To Gray were literary heresies | G |
