Sililoquy On Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLM

I have not livedA
After the rate to fear another worldB
We come from nothing into life a timeC
We measure with a short breath and that oftenD
Made tedious too with our own cares that fill itE
Which like so many atoms in a sunbeamF
But crowd and jostle one another AllG
From the adored purple to the hairclothH
Must centre in a shade and they that haveI
Their virtues to wait on them bravely mockJ
The rugged storms that so much fright them hereK
When their soul's launch'd by death into a seaL
That's ever calmM
