Inscription I. For A Tablet At Godstow Nunnery Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKILJ| Here 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 |
