Death Of Nelson - West. (exhibition, 1807.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDAAEEFF| Turn to Britannia's triumphs on the main | A |
| See Nelson pale and fainting 'mid the slain | A |
| Whilst Victory sighs stern in the garb of war | B |
| And points through clouds the rocks of Trafalgar | C |
| Here cease the strain but while thy hulls shall ride | D |
| Britain dark shadowing the tumultuous tide | D |
| May other Nelsons on the sanguine main | A |
| Guide like a god the battle's hurricane | A |
| And when the funeral's transient pomp is past | E |
| High hung the banner hushed the battle's blast | E |
| May the brave character to ages shine | F |
| And Genius consecrate the immortal shrine | F |
