To His Brother, Nicholas Herrick. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGHHAAAA

What others have with cheapness seen and easeA
In varnish'd maps by th' help of compassesA
Or read in volumes and those books with allB
Their large narrations incanonicalB
Thou hast beheld those seas and countries farC
And tell'st to us what once they were and areC
So that with bold truth thou can'st now relateD
This kingdom's fortune and that empire's fateD
Can'st talk to us of Sharon where a springE
Of roses have an endless flourishingE
Of Sion Sinai Nebo and with themF
Make known to us the new JerusalemG
The Mount of Olives Calvary and whereH
Is and hast seen thy Saviour's sepulchreH
So that the man that will but lay his earsA
As inapostate to the thing he hearsA
Shall by his hearing quickly come to seeA
The truth of travels less in books than theeA
