To The Author's Portrait Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEFDFG| Go faithful Portrait and where long hath knelt | A |
| Margaret the Saintly Foundress take thy place | B |
| And if Time spare the colours for the grace | B |
| Which to the work surpassing skill hath dealt | A |
| Thou on thy rock reclined though kingdoms melt | A |
| And states be torn up by the roots wilt seem | C |
| To breathe in rural peace to hear the stream | C |
| And think and feel as once the Poet felt | A |
| Whate'er thy fate those features have not grown | D |
| Unrecognised through many a household tear | E |
| More prompt more glad to fall than drops of dew | F |
| By morning shed around a flower half blown | D |
| Tears of delight that testified how true | F |
| To life thou art and in thy truth how dear | G |
