Her Reproach Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BCCC CACA DD| Con the dead page as 'twere live love press on | A |
| Cold wisdom's words will ease thy track for thee | B |
| Aye go cast off sweet ways and leave me wan | A |
| To biting blasts that are intent on me | B |
| - | |
| But if thy object Fame's far summits be | B |
| Whose inclines many a skeleton o'erlies | C |
| That missed both dream and substance stop and see | C |
| How absence wears these cheeks and dims these eyes | C |
| - | |
| It surely is far sweeter and more wise | C |
| To water love than toil to leave anon | A |
| A name whose glory gleam will but advise | C |
| Invidious minds to quench it with their own | A |
| - | |
| And over which the kindliest will but stay | D |
| A moment musing He too had his day | D |
