On Hermocratia (from The Greek) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEE| Hermocratia named save only one | A |
| Twice fifteen births I bore and buried none | A |
| For neither Phoebus pierced my thriving joys | B |
| Nor Dian she my girls or he my boys | B |
| But Dian rather when my daughters lay | C |
| In parturition chased their pangs away | C |
| And all my sons by Phoebus' bounty shared | D |
| A vigorous youth by sickness unimpair'd | D |
| O Niobe far less prolific see | E |
| Thy hoast against Latona shamed by me | E |
William Cowper
