To The Right Honourable Philip, Earl Of Pembroke And Montgomery Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFFGGHIJJ| How dull and dead are books that cannot show | A |
| A prince of Pembroke and that Pembroke you | B |
| You who are high born and a lord no less | C |
| Free by your fate than fortune's mightiness | C |
| Who hug our poems honour'd sir and then | D |
| The paper gild and laureate the pen | D |
| Nor suffer you the poets to sit cold | E |
| But warm their wits and turn their lines to gold | E |
| Others there be who righteously will swear | F |
| Those smooth paced numbers amble everywhere | F |
| And these brave measures go a stately trot | G |
| Love those like these regard reward them not | G |
| But you my lord are one whose hand along | H |
| Goes with your mouth or does outrun your tongue | I |
| Paying before you praise and cockering wit | J |
| Give both the gold and garland unto it | J |
