The Computation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCCCDD| For the first twenty years since yesterday | A |
| I scarce believed thou couldst be gone away | A |
| For forty more I fed on favors past | B |
| And forty on hopes that thou wouldst they might last | B |
| Tears drowned one hundred and sighs blew out two | C |
| A thousand I did neither think nor do | C |
| Or not divide all being one thought of you | C |
| Or in a thousand more forgot that too | C |
| Yet call not this long life but think that I | D |
| Am by being dead immortal Can ghosts die | D |
