à?re Perennius Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCECD| Look on the dead Stately and pure he lies | A |
| Under the white sheet's marble folds For him | B |
| The solemn bier the scented chamber dim | B |
| The sacred hush the bowed heads of the wise | A |
| The slow pomp the majestical disguise | A |
| Of haughty death the conjurer even for him | B |
| Poor trivial one pale shadow on the rim | B |
| Whom life marked not but death may not despise | A |
| Now is he level with the great no king | C |
| Enthroned and crowned more royal is more sure | D |
| Of the world's reverence Yesterday this thing | C |
| Was but a man mortal and insecure | E |
| Now chance and change their homage to him bring | C |
| And he is one with all things that endure | D |
