On A Picture Of Seneca Dying In A Bath, By Jordain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFGHHII| While cruel Nero only drains | A |
| The moral Spaniard's ebbing veins | A |
| By study worn and slack with age | B |
| How dull how thoughtless is his rage | B |
| Heighten'd revenge he should have took | C |
| He should have burnt his tutor's book | C |
| And long have reign's supreme in vice | D |
| One noble wretch can only rise | E |
| 'Tis he whose fury shall deface | F |
| The Stoic's Image in this piece | G |
| For while unhurt divine Jordain | H |
| Thy work and Seneca's remain | H |
| He still has body still has soul | I |
| And lives and speaks restored and whole | I |
