Requiem For The Plantagenet Kings Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DADEFGFHIH| For whom the possessed sea littered on both shores | A |
| Ruinous arms being fired and for good | B |
| To sound the constitution of just wards | C |
| Men in their eloquent fashion understood | B |
| - | |
| Relieved of soul the dropping back of dust | D |
| Their usage pride admitted within doors | A |
| At home under caved chantries set in trust | D |
| With well dressed alabaster and proved spurs | E |
| They lie they lie secure in the decay | F |
| Of blood blood marks crowns hacked and coveted | G |
| Before the scouring fires of trial day | F |
| Alight on men before sleeked groin gored head | H |
| Budge through the clay and gravel and the sea | I |
| Across daubed rock evacuates its dead | H |
