Epitaph On My Ever Honoured Father Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE

O YE whose cheek the tear of pity stainsA
Draw near with pious rev'rence and attendB
Here lie the loving husband's dear remainsA
The tender father and the gen'rous friendB
The pitying heart that felt for human woeC
The dauntless heart that fear'd no human prideD
The friend of man to vice alone a foeC
For 'ev'n his failings lean'd to virtue's side 'E
