Though All The Fates Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFFEEGGHHFF| THOUGH all the fates should prove unkind | A |
| Leave not your native land behind | A |
| The ship becalmed at length stands still | B |
| The steed must rest beneath the hill | B |
| But swiftly still our fortunes pace | C |
| To find us out in every place | C |
| - | |
| The vessel though her masts be firm | D |
| Beneath her copper bears a worm | D |
| Around the cape across the line | E |
| Till fields of ice her course confine | E |
| It matters not how smooth the breeze | F |
| How shallow or how deep the seas | F |
| Whether she bears Manilla twine | E |
| Or in her hold Madeira wine | E |
| Or China teas or Spanish hides | G |
| In port or quarantine she rides | G |
| Far from New England's blustering shore | H |
| New England's worm her hulk shall bore | H |
| And sink her in the Indian seas | F |
| Twine wine and hides and China teas | F |
