To The Right Honourable Mildmay, Earl Of Westmoreland Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGGHH| You are a lord an earl nay more a man | A |
| Who writes sweet numbers well as any can | A |
| If so why then are not these verses hurled | B |
| Like Sybil's leaves throughout the ample world | B |
| What is a jewel if it be not set | C |
| Forth by a ring or some rich carcanet | C |
| But being so then the beholders cry | D |
| See see a gem as rare as Belus' eye | D |
| Then public praise does run upon the stone | E |
| For a most rich a rare a precious one | F |
| Expose your jewels then unto the view | G |
| That we may praise them or themselves prize you | G |
| Virtue concealed with Horace you'll confess | H |
| Differs not much from drowsy slothfulness | H |
