Epigram Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEE| To purify their wine some people bleed | A |
| A lamb into the barrel and succeed | A |
| No nostrum planters say is half so good | B |
| To make fine sugar as a negro's blood | C |
| Now lambs and negroes both are harmless things | D |
| And thence perhaps this wondrous virtue springs | D |
| 'Tis in the blood of innocence alone | E |
| Good cause why planters never try their own | E |
William Cowper
