To Prince Charles Upon His Coming To Exeter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFGHHIIAAJJ| What fate decreed time now has made us see | A |
| A renovation of the west by thee | A |
| That preternatural fever which did threat | B |
| Death to our country now hath lost his heat | C |
| And calms succeeding we perceive no more | D |
| Th' unequal pulse to beat as heretofore | D |
| Something there yet remains for thee to do | E |
| Then reach those ends that thou wast destin'd to | E |
| Go on with Sylla's fortune let thy fate | F |
| Make thee like him this that way fortunate | G |
| Apollo's image side with thee to bless | H |
| Thy war discreetly made with white success | H |
| Meantime thy prophets watch by watch shall pray | I |
| While young Charles fights and fighting wins the day | I |
| That done our smooth paced poems all shall be | A |
| Sung in the high doxology of thee | A |
| Then maids shall strew thee and thy curls from them | J |
| Receive with songs a flowery diadem | J |
