On The Death Of A Particular Friend Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD| As those we love decay we die in part | A |
| String after string is sever'd from the heart | A |
| Till loosen'd life at last but breathing clay | B |
| Without one pang is glad to fall away | B |
| - | |
| Unhappy he who latest feels the blow | C |
| Whose eyes have wept o'er every friend laid low | C |
| Dragg'd ling'ring on from partial death to death | D |
| Till dying all he can resign is breath | D |
