An Apology To The Earl Of Orrery Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFF| Not Persia's Monarch could unmov'd survey | A |
| Those num'rous Hosts which Time must sweep away | A |
| He wept Misfortunes of a distant Date | B |
| I mourn the Rigour of my instant Fate | B |
| The dreaded Hour approaching fast I see | C |
| When you alas will all be dead to me | C |
| Then cease to wonder if my Bosom rise | D |
| And Tears unbidden rush into my Eyes | D |
| 'Tis thus and only thus a grateful Breast | E |
| Pours out those Thanks which cannot be express'd | E |
| For O Hibernia when I quit thy Coast | F |
| Such Friends I leave as few could ever boast | F |
