Inscription 01 - For A Tablet At Godstow Nunnery Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKILJHere Stranger rest thee from the neighbouring towers | A |
Of Oxford haply thou hast forced thy bark | B |
Up this strong stream whose broken waters here | C |
Send pleasant murmurs to the listening sense | D |
Rest thee beneath this hazel its green boughs | E |
Afford a grateful shade and to the eye | F |
Fair is its fruit Stranger the seemly fruit | G |
Is worthless all is hollowness within | H |
For on the grave of ROSAMUND it grows | I |
Young lovely and beloved she fell seduced | J |
And here retir'd to wear her wretched age | K |
In earnest prayer and bitter penitence | I |
Despis'd and self despising think of her | L |
Young Man and learn to reverence Womankind | J |
