To James H. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCEF| Without Life's toil to win Life's earthly prize | A |
| What was thy mystery oh early Dead | B |
| The careless world but counted thy young head | B |
| Among the multifarious heads that rise | A |
| And sink forgot For thee no watching eyes | A |
| Starred darkness no torch led thee to the bed | B |
| Of clay Yet if the Apostle justly said | B |
| Of all oblation who or lives or dies | A |
| So well as to achieve a fairer fame | C |
| Than henceforth should be thine oh unknown youth | D |
| Since on your votive marble for once Truth | D |
| Indites an Epitaph and 'neath thy name | C |
| Transcends all laudatory verse in one | E |
| 'To him John Hunter raised this tributary stone ' | F |
