To My Lord Fairfax Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCDC| Fairfax whose Name in Arms through Europe rings | A |
| And fills all Mouths with Envy or with Praise | B |
| And all her Jealous Monarchs with Amaze | B |
| And Rumours loud which daunt remotest Kings | A |
| Thy firm unshaken Valour ever brings | A |
| Victory home while new Rebellions raise | B |
| Their Hydra heads and the false North displays | B |
| Her broken League to Imp her Serpent Wings | A |
| O yet a Nobler task awaits thy Hand | C |
| For what can War but Acts of War still breed | D |
| Till injur'd Truth from Violence be freed | D |
| And publick Faith be rescu'd from the Brand | C |
| Of publick Fraud in vain doth Valour bleed | D |
| While Avarice and Rapine shares the Land | C |
