Comparison of: 'Death the Leveller' And 'Tombs in Westminster Abbey'

Paragraph 1: Main points and similarities and differences. For two poems of the same nature, (death and royalty), they have many differences, yet very few similarities. For example, 'Death the Leveller' and 'The Tombs in Westminster Abbey' have the same theme, language and tone. Nevertheless, the structure is very different and unique. To describe poems such as these, my personal opinion is morbid and sombre, yet this is only one of my similarities. Both poems have …

…Rhyme. The flow of even rhyme in 'The Tombs in Westminster Abbey' is completely different to that of 'Death the Leveller'. One of the poems uses half rhyme, while the other, chooses to use full rhyme. In my personal opinion, 'Death the Leveller' appeals to me more, only because it is shorter and is easier to understand, whilst 'The Tombs in Westminster Abbey' has a more difficult length and words that are harder to remember.
