The World's Triumphs Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFHII| So far as I conceive the World's rebuke | A |
| To him address'd who would recast her new | B |
| Not from herself her fame of strength she took | C |
| But from their weakness who would work her rue | B |
| 'Behold ' she cries 'so many rages lull'd | D |
| So many fiery spirits quite cool'd down | E |
| Look how so many valours long undull'd | D |
| After short commerce with me fear my frown | E |
| Thou too when thou against my crimes wouldst cry | F |
| Let thy foreboded homage check thy tongue ' | G |
| The World speaks well yet might her foe reply | F |
| 'Are wills so weak then let not mine wait long | H |
| Hast thou so rare a poison let me be | I |
| Keener to slay thee lest thou poison me | I |
