On The Monument Of The Marquis Of Winchester.[1] Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEFGGHHIIJJ| He who in impious times undaunted stood | A |
| And 'midst rebellion durst be just and good | A |
| Whose arms asserted and whose sufferings more | B |
| Confirm'd the cause for which he sought before | B |
| Rests here rewarded by an heavenly prince | C |
| For what his earthly could not recompense | D |
| Pray reader that such times no more appear | E |
| Or if they happen learn true honour here | F |
| Ask of this age's faith and loyalty | G |
| Which to preserve them Heaven confined in thee | G |
| Few subjects could a king like thine deserve | H |
| And fewer such a king so well could serve | H |
| Blest king blest subject whose exalted state | I |
| By sufferings rose and gave the law to fate | I |
| Such souls are rare but mighty patterns given | J |
| To earth and meant for ornaments to heaven | J |
