At The Grave Of A Spanish Friend Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBADDEDDE| Here lies who of two mighty realms was free | A |
| The English Spaniard who lived England's good | B |
| With such a Spain of splendour in the blood | C |
| As flaming through our cold utility | A |
| Fired the north oak to the Hesperian tree | A |
| And flower'd and fruited the unyielding wood | B |
| That stems the storms and seas Equal he stood | B |
| Between us and so fell Twice happy he | A |
| On earth and surely in new Paradise | D |
| Ere we have learn'd the phrase of those abodes | D |
| Twice happy he whom earthly use has given | E |
| Of all the tongues our long confusion tries | D |
| That noblest twain wherein the listening gods | D |
| Patient discern the primal speech of Heaven | E |
