Epitaph On Nelson Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG| Lo here are Nelson's honour'd relics laid | A |
| Britons your Country's Genius calls you here | B |
| And bids you pay to your lost Hero's shade | A |
| The noble homage of a patriot tear | C |
| - | |
| Against the fleets of Gallia Denmark Spain | D |
| Full oft Britannia's war bolts he has hurl'd | E |
| Stretch'd forth her sceptre o'er the vanquish'd main | D |
| And with her glory fill'd the astonish'd world | E |
| - | |
| His matchless triumphs shall the voice of Fame | F |
| With loud applause to latest ages tell | G |
| Still uttering with a sigh Trafalgar's name | F |
| Where last he conquer'd where alas he fell | G |
