The Old Stoic Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG

Riches I hold in light esteemA
And love I laugh to scornB
And lust of fame was but a dreamA
That vanish'd with the mornB
-
And if I pray the only prayerC
That moves my lips for meD
Is Leave the heart that now I bearC
And give me libertyD
-
Yes as my swift days near their goalE
'Tis all that I imploreF
In life and death a chainless soulE
With courage to endureG
