To Mr. H. Lawes On His Airs Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBDEFGHEG| Harry whose tuneful and well measured song | A |
| First taught our English music how to span | B |
| Words with just note and accent not to scan | B |
| With Midas ears committing short and long | A |
| Thy worth and skill exempts thee from the throng | A |
| With praise enough for Envy to look wan | C |
| To after age thou shalt be writ the man | B |
| That with smooth air couldst humour best our tongue | D |
| Thou honour st Verse and Verse must lend her wing | E |
| To honour thee the priest of Ph bus quire | F |
| That tunest their happiest lines in hymn or story | G |
| Dante shall give Fame leave to set thee higher | H |
| Than his Casella whom he wooed to sing | E |
| Met in the milder shades of Purgatory | G |
