Epitaph On The World Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBBCCDD| Here lies the body of this world | A |
| Whose soul alas to hell is hurled | A |
| This golden youth long since was past | B |
| Its silver manhood went as fast | B |
| An iron age drew on at last | B |
| 'Tis vain its character to tell | C |
| The several fates which it befell | C |
| What year it died when 'twill arise | D |
| We only know that here it lies | D |
