Epitaphs Ix. Pause, Courteous Spirit Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDAEFGEEEHAIJAEKAL KM| Pause courteous Spirit Balbi supplicates | A |
| That Thou with no reluctant voice for him | B |
| Here laid in mortal darkness wouldst prefer | C |
| A prayer to the Redeemer of the world | D |
| This to the dead by sacred right belongs | A |
| All else is nothing Did occasion suit | E |
| To tell his worth the marble of this tomb | F |
| Would ill suffice for Plato's lore sublime | G |
| And all the wisdom of the Stagyrite | E |
| Enriched and beautified his studious mind | E |
| With Archimedes also he conversed | E |
| As with a chosen friend nor did he leave | H |
| Those laureat wreaths ungathered which the Nymphs | A |
| Twine near their loved Permessus Finally | I |
| Himself above each lower thought uplifting | J |
| His ears he closed to listen to the songs | A |
| Which Sion's Kings did consecrate of old | E |
| And his Permessus found on Lebanon | K |
| A blessed Man who of protracted days | A |
| Made not as thousands do a vulgar sleep | L |
| But truly did 'He' live his life Urbino | K |
| Take pride in him O Passenger farewell | M |
