Epitaphs Vii. O Flower Of All That Springs From Gentle Blood Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIIIJKLMEIN| O flower of all that springs from gentle blood | A |
| And all that generous nurture breeds to make | B |
| Youth amiable O friend so true of soul | C |
| To fair Aglaia by what envy moved | D |
| Lelius has death cut short thy brilliant day | E |
| In its sweet opening and what dire mishap | F |
| Has from Savona torn her best delight | G |
| For thee she mourns nor e'er will cease to mourn | H |
| And should the out pourings of her eyes suffice not | I |
| For her heart's grief she will entreat Sebeto | I |
| Not to withhold his bounteous aid Sebeto | I |
| Who saw thee on his margin yield to death | J |
| In the chaste arms of thy beloved Love | K |
| What profit riches what does youth avail | L |
| Dust are our hopes I weeping bitterly | M |
| Penned these sad lines nor can forbear to pray | E |
| That every gentle Spirit hither led | I |
| May read them not without some bitter tears | N |
