On Himself Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFF| A wearied pilgrim I have wander'd here | A |
| Twice five and twenty bate me but one year | B |
| Long I have lasted in this world 'tis true | C |
| But yet those years that I have lived but few | C |
| Who by his gray hairs doth his lustres tell | D |
| Lives not those years but he that lives them well | D |
| One man has reach'd his sixty years but he | E |
| Of all those three score has not lived half three | E |
| He lives who lives to virtue men who cast | F |
| Their ends for pleasure do not live but last | F |
