Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEFGHHIIAA| For brave comportment wit without offence | A |
| Words fully flowing yet of influence | A |
| Thou art that man of men the man alone | B |
| Worthy the public admiration | C |
| Who with thine own eyes read'st what we do write | D |
| And giv'st our numbers euphony and weight | E |
| Tell'st when a verse springs high how understood | F |
| To be or not born of the Royal blood | G |
| What state above what symmetry below | H |
| Lines have or should have thou the best canst show | H |
| For which my Charles it is my pride to be | I |
| Not so much known as to be loved by thee | I |
| Long may I live so and my wreath of bays | A |
| Be less another's laurel than thy praise | A |
Robert Herrick
