Epitaphs Vi. Destined To War From Very Infancy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP| Destined to war from very infancy | A |
| Was I Roberto Dati and I took | B |
| In Malta the white symbol of the Cross | C |
| Nor in life's vigorous season did I shun | D |
| Hazard or toil among the sands was seen | E |
| Of Libya and not seldom on the banks | F |
| Of wide Hungarian Danube 'twas my lot | G |
| To hear the sanguinary trumpet sounded | H |
| So lived I and repined not at such fate | I |
| This only grieves me for it seems a wrong | J |
| That stripped of arms I to my end am brought | K |
| On the soft down of my paternal home | L |
| Yet haply Arno shall be spared all cause | M |
| To blush for me Thou loiter not nor halt | N |
| In thy appointed way and bear in mind | O |
| How fleeting and how frail is human life | P |
