A valedictory poem that's rich in rhythm and percussive beats from beginning to end.

These rhymes, which flow and beat, must throb with iambic stress to this line and repeat the measure, more or less. They must have lines and rows that move with good meter, to feet of highs and lows that's nice, tight, and neater. They, too, must be short-writ with not so lengthy song, so restless ears hear it in notes which don't prolong. (Albeit, nonetheless!) 'Tis good to end these rhymes with a farewell address: "Adieu! More pleasant times?" I ask—so, please, nod “Yes!”
