Epitaph On Fop, A Dog Belonging To Lady Throckmorton Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEE| Though once a puppy and though Fop by name | A |
| Here moulders one whose bones some honour claim | A |
| No sycophant although of spaniel race | B |
| And though no hound a martyr to the chace | B |
| Ye squirrels rabbits leverets rejoice | C |
| Your haunts no longer echo to his voice | C |
| This record of his fate exulting view | D |
| He died worn out with vain pursuit of you | D |
| Yes the indignant shade of Fop replies | E |
| And worn with vain pursuit man also dies | E |
William Cowper
