Epilogue:xxi 'tristram Of Lyonesse' Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDEED| OUR MOTHER which wast twice as history saith | A |
| Found first among the nations once when she | B |
| Who bore thine ensign saw the God in thee | B |
| Smite Spain and bring forth Shakespeare once when death | A |
| Shrank and Rome s bloodhounds cowered at Milton s breath | A |
| More than thy place then first among the free | B |
| More than that sovereign lordship of the sea | B |
| Bequeathed to Cromwell from Elizabeth | A |
| More than thy fiery guiding star which Drake | C |
| Hailed and the deep saw lit again for Blake | C |
| More than all deeds wrought of thy strong right hand | D |
| This praise keeps most thy fame s memorial strong | E |
| That thou wast head of all these streams of song | E |
| And time bows down to thee as Shakespeare s land | D |
