Virtues Of A Diamond Ring Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHH FFII AAJJ KKLL AAAA| Of the strange virtues of a ring | A |
| In simple strains we now will sing | A |
| Brave warrior of ancient France | B |
| Where danger was he did advance | B |
| - | |
| But he at last was struck by ball | C |
| And on the battle field did fall | C |
| They dug for him a shallow grave | D |
| And slightly cover'd warrior brave | D |
| - | |
| But his servant man with warm heart | E |
| Loathed with his master thus to part | E |
| So he moved soil from where he lay | F |
| And found a lump of lifeless clay | F |
| - | |
| He turned away in sad despair | G |
| That could not be his master fair | G |
| That famed brave youth of noble birth | H |
| Now all stained o'er with blood and earth | H |
| - | |
| As he begins to move away | F |
| The moon reflects on brilliant ray | F |
| From diamond ring on dead man's finger | I |
| The servant now doth fondly linger | I |
| - | |
| For he knows it's his master's ring | A |
| And hopes to life he may him bring | A |
| In finger he discovers heat | J |
| And hopes his heart it still may beat | J |
| - | |
| Though surgeons they pronounce him dead | K |
| For long he bathes his breast and head | K |
| And slowly master did restore | L |
| To fight more brave than he had before | L |
| - | |
| And now this tale to close we bring | A |
| Of warrior saved by a ring | A |
| Full oft again to fight for king | A |
| His praise his countrymen they sing | A |
