To The President Of Magdalen College, Oxford Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEDEDE| Since now from woodland mist and flooded clay | A |
| I am fled beside the steep Devonian shore | B |
| Nor stand for welcome at your gothic door | B |
| 'Neath the fair tower of Magdalen and May | A |
| Such tribute Warren as fond poets pay | A |
| For generous esteem I write not more | B |
| Enhearten'd than my need is reckoning o'er | C |
| My life long wanderings on the heavenly way | A |
| But well befriended we become good friends | D |
| Well honour'd honourable and all attain | E |
| Somewhat by fathering what fortune sends | D |
| I bid your presidency a long reign | E |
| True friend and may your praise to greater ends | D |
| Aid better men than I nor me in vain | E |
