In A Letter To C. P. Esq. In Imitation Of Shakspeare Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHI| Trust me the meed of praise dealt thriftily | A |
| From the nice scale of judgement honours more | B |
| Than does the lavish and o'erbearing tide | C |
| Of profuse courtesy Not all the gems | D |
| Of India's richest soil at random spread | E |
| O'er the gay vesture of some glittering dame | F |
| Give such alluring vantage to the person | G |
| As the scant lustre of a few with choice | H |
| And comely guise of ornament disposed | I |
William Cowper
