Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBCCDEEEEEE

VIIIA
-
Captain or Colonel or Knight in ArmsB
Whose chance on these defenceless dores may seaseC
If ever deed of honour did thee pleaseC
Guard them and him within protect from harmsB
He can requite thee for he knows the charmsB
That call Fame on such gentle acts as theseC
And he can spred thy Name o're Lands and SeasC
What ever clime the Suns bright circle warmsD
Lift not thy spear against the Muses BowreE
The great Emathian Conqueror bid spareE
The house of Pindarus when Temple and TowreE
Went to the ground And the repeated airE
Of sad Electra's Poet had the powerE
To save th' Athenian Walls from ruine bareE

John Milton
