The Epitaph Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFGHHII| Here five feet deep lies on his back | A |
| A cobbler starmonger and quack | A |
| Who to the stars in pure good will | B |
| Does to his best look upward still | B |
| Weep all you customers that use | C |
| His pills his almanacks or shoes | D |
| And you that did your fortunes seek | E |
| Step to his grave but once a week | E |
| This earth which bears his body's print | F |
| You'll find has so much virtue in't | G |
| That I durst pawn my ears 'twill tell | H |
| Whate'er concerns you full as well | H |
| In physic stolen goods or love | I |
| As he himself could when above | I |
