In Laudem Authoris. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGFF| Like to the weake estate of a poore friend | A |
| To whom sweet fortune hath bene euer slow | B |
| VVhich dayly doth that happy howre attend | A |
| VVhen his poore state may his affection shew | C |
| So fares my loue not able as the rest | D |
| To chaunt thy prayses in a lofty vayne | E |
| Yet my poore Muse doth vow to doe her best | D |
| And wanting wings shee'le tread an humble strayne | E |
| I thought at first her homely steps to rayse | F |
| And for some blazing Epithites to looke | G |
| But then I fear'd that by such wondrous prayse | F |
| Some men would grow suspicious of thy booke | G |
| For hee that doth thy due deserts reherse | F |
| Depriues that glory from thy worthy verse | F |
