To Mr. ------ Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBAACCCDDEFGGHIJJK KLLLMMNN| For ever blest be that prolific brain | A |
| Which can such stores of images contain | A |
| Thus the charg'd trees with blooming odours crown'd | B |
| Shed their fair blossoms with profusion round | B |
| So swells the brook with heav'n descended rain | A |
| And flows meand'ring on thirsty plain | A |
| Such various talents were by Heav'n design'd | C |
| Too vast a treasure for a single mind | C |
| To please astonish and instruct mankind | C |
| With a delight not to be told I view | D |
| Themes long exhausted in your hands grow new | D |
| Past all describing your descriptions are | E |
| So full so just so bold yet regular | F |
| The style so varied that it wants a name | G |
| Which ever differing ever is the same | G |
| You raise or calm our passions as you please | H |
| The human heart your powerful pen obeys | I |
| When eager Trasimond pursues the course | J |
| We hear the whip and see the foaming horse | J |
| With Sophronia we have wept and smil'd | K |
| So soon offended sooner reconcil'd | K |
| Go on great author that the world may see | L |
| How bright when from pedantic fetters free | L |
| True genius shines and shines alone in thee | L |
| Give new editions with a noble scorn | M |
| Of insect critics who'd obscure thy morn | M |
| Neglect their censures nor thy work delay | N |
| The owls still sicken at the sight of day | N |
