To His Honoured Kinsman, Sir William Soame. Epig Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFF| I can but name thee and methinks I call | A |
| All that have been or are canonical | B |
| For love and bounty to come near and see | C |
| Their many virtues volum'd up in thee | C |
| In thee brave man whose incorrupted fame | D |
| Casts forth a light like to a virgin flame | D |
| And as it shines it throws a scent about | E |
| As when a rainbow in perfumes goes out | E |
| So vanish hence but leave a name as sweet | F |
| As benjamin and storax when they meet | F |
Robert Herrick
