Cassius Hueffer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGBBHIJKL| They have chiseled on my stone the words | A |
| His life was gentle and the elements so mixed in him | B |
| That nature might stand up and say to all the world | C |
| This was a man | D |
| Those who knew me smile | E |
| As they read this empty rhetoric | F |
| My epitaph should have been | G |
| Life was not gentle to him | B |
| And the elements so mixed in him | B |
| That he made warfare on life | H |
| In the which he was slain | I |
| While I lived I could not cope with slanderous tongues | J |
| Now that I am dead I must submit to an epitaph | K |
| Graven by a fool | L |
