On The Death Of Rev. William Benwell, M.a. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDEFGGFHI| Thou camest with kind looks when on the brink | A |
| Almost of death I strove and with mild voice | B |
| Didst soothe me bidding my poor heart rejoice | B |
| Though smitten sore Oh I did little think | A |
| That thou my friend wouldst the first victim fall | C |
| To the stern King of Terrors Thou didst fly | D |
| By pity prompted at the poor man's cry | D |
| And soon thyself were stretched beneath the pall | E |
| Livid infection's prey The deep distress | F |
| Of her who best thy inmost bosom knew | G |
| To whom thy faith was vowed thy soul was true | G |
| What powers of faltering language shall express | F |
| As friendship bids I feebly breathe my own | H |
| And sorrowing say Pure spirit thou art gone | I |
