    In his poem‚ “Epilogue‚” Jarman breaks from traditional Shakespearian sonnet from in an ironic way. The first quatrain completely follows sonnet elements in a unique way; there is repetition at the beginning of each line “[t]oday is” (1-4) and in the middle of each of the four lines‚ “and yesterday is” (1-4). This reputation resembles the repetition of the Beatitudes in the Gospel of Matthew. Jarman then breaks the rhyme scheme of a Shakespearean passage in the second quatrain in two lines‚ “full”
