Rhyme Scheme: A BBCCCDEEDDFFGGCHCHII JK| ON THE CELEBRATED PICTURE BY LEONARDO DA VINCI CALLED THE VIRGIN OF THE ROCKS | A |
| - | |
| While young John runs to greet | B |
| The greater Infant's feet | B |
| The Mother standing by with trembling passion | C |
| Of devout admiration | C |
| Beholds the engaging mystic play and pretty adoration | C |
| Nor knows as yet the full event | D |
| Of those so low beginnings | E |
| From whence we date our winnings | E |
| But wonders at the intent | D |
| Of those new rites and what that strange child worship meant | D |
| But at her side | F |
| An angel doth abide | F |
| With such a perfect joy | G |
| As no dim doubts alloy | G |
| An intuition | C |
| A glory an amenity | H |
| Passing the dark condition | C |
| Of blind humanity | H |
| As if he surely knew | I |
| All the blest wonders should ensue | I |
| Or he had lately left the upper sphere | J |
| And had read all the sovran schemes and divine riddles there | K |
