To Mr. Samuel Brooke Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFGHH| O THOU which to search out the secret parts | A |
| Of the India or rather Paradise | B |
| Of knowledge hast with courage and advice | B |
| Lately launch'd into the vast sea of arts | A |
| Disdain not in thy constant travelling | C |
| To do as other voyagers and make | D |
| Some turns into less creeks and wisely take | D |
| Fresh water at the Heliconian spring | C |
| I sing not siren like to tempt for I | E |
| Am harsh nor as those schismatics with you | F |
| Which draw all wits of good hope to their crew | F |
| But seeing in you bright sparks of poetry | G |
| I though I brought no fuel had desire | H |
| With these articulate blasts to blow the fire | H |
