To His Brother, Nicholas Herrick. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGHHAAAA| What others have with cheapness seen and ease | A |
| In varnish'd maps by th' help of compasses | A |
| Or read in volumes and those books with all | B |
| Their large narrations incanonical | B |
| Thou hast beheld those seas and countries far | C |
| And tell'st to us what once they were and are | C |
| So that with bold truth thou can'st now relate | D |
| This kingdom's fortune and that empire's fate | D |
| Can'st talk to us of Sharon where a spring | E |
| Of roses have an endless flourishing | E |
| Of Sion Sinai Nebo and with them | F |
| Make known to us the new Jerusalem | G |
| The Mount of Olives Calvary and where | H |
| Is and hast seen thy Saviour's sepulchre | H |
| So that the man that will but lay his ears | A |
| As inapostate to the thing he hears | A |
| Shall by his hearing quickly come to see | A |
| The truth of travels less in books than thee | A |
