His Return To London Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEEFGHIJKLMDDNNOP| From the dull confines of the drooping west | A |
| To see the day spring from the pregnant east | B |
| Ravish'd in spirit I come nay more I fly | C |
| To thee blest place of my nativity | D |
| Thus thus with hallow'd foot I touch the ground | E |
| With thousand blessings by thy fortune crown'd | E |
| O fruitful Genius that bestowest here | F |
| An everlasting plenty year by year | G |
| O place O people manners framed to please | H |
| All nations customs kindreds languages | I |
| I am a free born Roman suffer then | J |
| That I amongst you live a citizen | K |
| London my home is though by hard fate sent | L |
| Into a long and irksome banishment | M |
| Yet since call'd back henceforward let me be | D |
| O native country repossess'd by thee | D |
| For rather than I'll to the west return | N |
| I'll beg of thee first here to have mine urn | N |
| Weak I am grown and must in short time fall | O |
| Give thou my sacred reliques burial | P |
