To The King Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFGBB| Give way give way now now my Charles shines here | A |
| A public light in this immensive sphere | B |
| Some stars were fix'd before but these are dim | C |
| Compar'd in this my ample orb to him | C |
| Draw in your feeble fires while that he | D |
| Appears but in his meaner majesty | D |
| Where if such glory flashes from his name | E |
| Which is his shade who can abide his flame | E |
| Princes and such like public lights as these | F |
| Must not be look'd on but at distances | G |
| For if we gaze on these brave lamps too near | B |
| Our eyes they'll blind or if not blind they'll blear | B |
