Epitaph At Welwyn, Hertfordshire Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGFHIJKHLIMN

If fond of what is rare attendA
Here lies an honest manB
Of perfect pietyC
Of lamblike patienceD
My friend James BarkerE
To whom I pay this mean memorialF
For what deserves the greatestG
An exampleF
Which shone through all the clouds of fortuneH
Industrious in low estateI
The lesson and reproach of those above himJ
To lay this little stoneK
Is my ambitionH
While others rearL
The polish'd marbles of the greatI
Vain pompM
A turf o'er virtue charms us moreN
