To The Earl Of Doncaster Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEFGFHH| SEE sir how as the sun's hot masculine flame | A |
| Begets strange creatures on Nile's dirty slime | B |
| In me your fatherly yet lusty rhyme | B |
| For these songs are their fruits have wrought the same | A |
| But though th' engend'ring force from which they came | A |
| Be strong enough and Nature doth admit | C |
| Seven to be born at once I send as yet | D |
| But six they say the seventh hath still some maim | A |
| I choose your judgment which the same degree | E |
| Doth with her sister your invention hold | F |
| As fire these drossy rhymes to purify | G |
| Or as elixir to change them to gold | F |
| You are that alchemist which always had | H |
| Wit whose one spark could make good things of bad | H |
