Ad Martialem Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGG| GO D knows my Martial if we two could be | A |
| To enjoy our days set wholly free | A |
| To the true life together bend our mind | B |
| And take a furlough from the falser kind | B |
| No rich saloon nor palace of the great | C |
| Nor suit at law should trouble our estate | C |
| On no vainglorious statues should we look | D |
| But of a walk a talk a little book | D |
| Baths wells and meads and the veranda shade | E |
| Let all our travels and our toils be made | E |
| Now neither lives unto himself alas | F |
| And the good suns we see that flash and pass | F |
| And perish and the bell that knells them cries | G |
| Another gone O when will ye arise | G |
