Epitaph On The Lady Whitmore Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGGHI| Fair kind and true a treasure each alone | A |
| A wife a mistress and a friend in one | B |
| Rest in this tomb raised at thy husband's cost | C |
| Here sadly summing what he had and lost | D |
| Come virgins ere in equal bands ye join | E |
| Come first and offer at her sacred shrine | F |
| Pray but for half the virtues of this wife | G |
| Compound for all the rest with longer life | G |
| And wish your vows like hers may be returned | H |
| So loved when living and when dead so mourned | I |
