To The Right Honourable Edward, Earl Of Dorset Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEFGHIIJJKK| If I dare write to you my lord who are | A |
| Of your own self a public theatre | B |
| And sitting see the wiles ways walks of wit | C |
| And give a righteous judgment upon it | C |
| What need I care though some dislike me should | D |
| If Dorset say what Herrick writes is good | D |
| We know y'are learn'd i' th' Muses and no less | E |
| In our state sanctions deep or bottomless | F |
| Whose smile can make a poet and your glance | G |
| Dash all bad poems out of countenance | H |
| So that an author needs no other bays | I |
| For coronation than your only praise | I |
| And no one mischief greater than your frown | J |
| To null his numbers and to blast his crown | J |
| Few live the life immortal He ensures | K |
| His fame's long life who strives to set up yours | K |
