Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDFGFGFHISo oft have I invoked thee for my Muse | A |
And found such fair assistance in my verse | B |
As every alien pen hath got my use | C |
And under thee their poesy disperse | B |
Thine eyes that taught the dumb on high to sing | D |
And heavy ignorance aloft to fly | E |
Have added feathers to the learn egrave d's wing | D |
And given grace a double majesty | F |
Yet be most proud of that which I compile | G |
Whose influence is thine and born of thee | F |
In others' works thou dost but mend the style | G |
And arts with thy sweet graces grac egrave d be | F |
But thou art all my art and dost advance | H |
As high as learning my rude ignorance | I |
