A Fragment Of Seneca Translated Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFFGGHIHJIJ| After Death nothing is and nothing death | A |
| The utmost limit of a gasp of breath | A |
| Let the ambitious zealot lay aside | B |
| His hopes of heaven whose faith is but his pride | B |
| Let slavish souls lay by their fear | C |
| Nor be concerned which way nor where | D |
| After this life they shall be hurled | E |
| Dead we become the lumber of the world | E |
| And to that mass of matter shall be swept | F |
| Where things destroyed with things unborn are kept | F |
| Devouring time swallows us whole | G |
| Impartial death confounds body and soul | G |
| For Hell and the foul fiend that rules | H |
| God's everlasting fiery jails | I |
| Devised by rogues dreaded by fools | H |
| With his grim grisly dog that keeps the door | J |
| Are senseless stories idle tales | I |
| Dreams whimsey's and no more | J |
