On The Lord Gen. Fairfax At The Seige Of Colchester Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBBCDDCDC| Fairfax whose name in armes through Europe rings | A |
| Filling each mouth with envy or with praise | B |
| And all her jealous monarchs with amaze | B |
| And rumors loud that daunt remotest kings | A |
| Thy firm unshak'n vertue ever brings | A |
| Victory home though new rebellions raise | B |
| Their Hydra heads amp the fals North displaies | B |
| Her brok'n league to impe their serpent wings | B |
| O yet a nobler task awaites thy hand | C |
| Yet what can Warr but endless warr still breed | D |
| Till Truth amp Right from Violence be freed | D |
| And Public Faith cleard from the shamefull brand | C |
| Of Public Fraud In vain doth Valour bleed | D |
| While Avarice amp Rapine share the land | C |
