On A Good Man (from The Greek) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEF| Traveller regret not me for thou shalt find | A |
| Just cause of sorrow none in my decease | B |
| Who dying children's children left behind | A |
| And with one wife lived many a year in peace | B |
| Three virtuous youths espoused my daughters three | C |
| And oft their infants in my bosom lay | D |
| Nor saw I one of all derived from me | C |
| Touch'd with disease or torn by death away | D |
| Their duteous hands my funeral rites bestow'd | E |
| And me by blameless manners fitted well | F |
| To seek it sent to the serene abode | E |
| Where shades of pious men forever dwell | F |
William Cowper
