To James Y. Simpson Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABCADCACCC| Oh teeming heart that for this once in vain | A |
| Big with our good didst undeliver'd die | B |
| Had some god got thee with a progeny | C |
| O'er great that born might even dispute the reign | A |
| Of Death as Death had seen the realms of Pain | A |
| Won by thine elder brood We marvell'd why | B |
| So seeming careless of his sovereignty | C |
| He spared and spared thee doth this day explain | A |
| The Fabian greed that grudged a needless blow | D |
| Knowing too well what deity possest | C |
| Thee did the dead eyed strategist foreknow | A |
| How the huge god must choke the mortal breast | C |
| The mortal breast deep under clod and sod | C |
| Out of the half saved world drag down the abortive god | C |
