In Morte: Xliii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCCDC| Yon nightingale who mourns so plaintively | A |
| Perchance his fledglings or his darling mate | B |
| Fills sky and earth with sweetness warbling late | B |
| Prophetic notes of melting melody | A |
| All night he as it were companions me | A |
| Reminding me of my so cruel fate | B |
| Mourning no other grief save mine own state | B |
| Who knew not Death reigned o'er divinity | A |
| How easy 't is to dupe the soul secure | C |
| Those two fair lamps even than the sun more bright | D |
| Who ever dreamed to see turn clay obscure | C |
| But Fortune has ordained I now am sure | C |
| That I midst lifelong tears should learn aright | D |
| Naught here can make us happy or endure | C |
