John Webster: Vii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDEED| THUNDER the flesh quails and the soul bows down | A |
| Night east west south and northward very night | B |
| Star upon struggling star strives into sight | B |
| Star after shuddering star the deep storms drown | A |
| The very throne of night her very crown | A |
| A man lays hand on and usurps her right | B |
| Song from the highest of heaven s imperious height | B |
| Shoots as a fire to smite some towering town | A |
| Rage anguish harrowing fear heart crazing crime | C |
| Make monstrous all the murderous face of Time | C |
| Shown in the spheral orbit of a glass | D |
| Revolving Earth cries out from all her graves | E |
| Frail on frail rafts across wide wallowing waves | E |
| Shapes here and there of child and mother pass | D |
