Epitaph To Rome Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBEFBGHIJKL| If midst Rome you wish to see Rome pilgrim | A |
| Tho in Rome naught of Rome might you see | B |
| Behold the walls' ring the theatres temples | C |
| And ruptured pillars to rubble all turned | D |
| Rome be these Mark how the corpse of a city | B |
| So strong still past fortune's pomp exudes | E |
| Subduing a world herself the city subdued | F |
| Lest yet more to subdue might there be | B |
| Today in broken Rome Rome unbroken | G |
| A substance in its shadow lies entombed | H |
| Within all's changed alone past change | I |
| Tiber remains that to sea runs mixed with sand | J |
| See what Fortune plays 'tis wasted away | K |
| What was unmoving what moved yet remains | L |
