Inscription For The Tomb Of Mr. Hamilton Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFC| Pause here and think a monitory rhyme | A |
| Demands one moment of thy fleeting time | A |
| Consult life's silent clock thy bounding vein | B |
| Seems it to say 'Health here has long to reign ' | C |
| Hast thou the vigour of thy youth an eye | D |
| That beams delight a heart untaught to sigh | D |
| Yet fear Youth ofttimes healthful and at ease | E |
| Anticipates a day it never sees | E |
| And many a tomb like Hamilton's aloud | F |
| Exclaims 'Prepare thee for an early shroud ' | C |
William Cowper
