To Mrs. Unwin Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| Mary I want a lyre with other strings | A |
| Such aid from heaven as some have feigned they drew | B |
| An eloquence scarce given to mortals new | B |
| And undebased by praise of meaner things | A |
| That ere through age or woe I shed my wings | A |
| I may record thy worth with honour due | B |
| In verse as musical as thou art true | B |
| And that immortalises whom it sings | A |
| But thou hast little need There is a book | C |
| By seraphs writ with beams of heavenly light | D |
| On which the eyes of God not rarely look | C |
| A chronicle of actions just and bright | D |
| There all thy deeds my faithful Mary shine | E |
| And since thou own'st that praise I spare thee mine | E |
William Cowper
