Sonnets Of The Empire:gloriana-s England Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| Forth sped thy gallant sailors blithe and free | A |
| Fearing nor foeman s hate nor iron clime | B |
| Nor Lima s flame nor Plata s fever slime | B |
| So they might give thee far Cathay in fee | A |
| Yet swept thy poets o er a vaster sea | A |
| Neath fairer gales to Indies more sublime | B |
| Questing along the golden shores of Rhyme | B |
| For all the treasure of eternity | A |
| - | |
| One will one end one pulse of deep desire | C |
| Drove Hudson through the ice to joy and death | D |
| Sped Drake to glory through the long South roll | E |
| And kindled Marlowe s eager heart with fire | C |
| Set Spenser voyaging neath the spirit s breath | D |
| And won the world for Shakespeare s captain soul | E |
