Roman Antiquities - From The Roman Station At Old Penrith Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADCACEFEFGG| How profitless the relics that we cull | A |
| Troubling the last holds of ambitious Rome | B |
| Unless they chasten fancies that presume | C |
| Too high or idle agitations lull | A |
| Of the world's flatteries if the brain be full | D |
| To have no seat for thought were better doom | C |
| Like this old helmet or the eyeless skull | A |
| Of him who gloried in its nodding plume | C |
| Heaven out of view our wishes what are they | E |
| Our fond regrets tenacious in their grasp | F |
| The Sage's theory the Poet's lay | E |
| Mere Fibulae without a robe to clasp | F |
| Obsolete lamps whose light no time recalls | G |
| Urns without ashes tearless lacrymals | G |
