On The Russian Persecution Of The Jews: Sonnets Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEEEE| O SON of man by lying tongues adored | A |
| By slaughterous hands of slaves with feet red shod | B |
| In carnage deep as ever Christian trod | B |
| Profaned with prayer and sacrifice abhorred | A |
| And incense from the trembling tyrant s horde | A |
| Brute worshippers or wielders of the rod | B |
| Most murderous even of all that call thee God | B |
| Most treacherous even that ever called thee Lord | A |
| Face loved of little children long ago | C |
| Head hated of the priests and rulers then | D |
| If thou see this or hear these hounds of thine | E |
| Run ravening as the Gadarean swine | E |
| Say was not this thy Passion to foreknow | E |
| In death s worst hour the works of Christian men | E |
