Sonnet Xc: -retro Me, Sathana!â? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCCD| Get thee behind me Even as heavy curled | A |
| Stooping against the wind a charioteer | B |
| Is snatched from out his chariot by the hair | B |
| So shall Time be and as the void car hurled | A |
| Abroad by reinless steeds even so the world | A |
| Yea even as chariot dust upon the air | B |
| It shall be sought and not found anywhere | B |
| Get thee behind me Satan Oft unfurled | A |
| Thy perilous wings can beat and break like lath | C |
| Much mightiness of men to win thee praise | D |
| Leave these weak feet to tread in narrow ways | D |
| Thou still upon the broad vine sheltered path | C |
| Mayst wait the turning of the phials of wrath | C |
| For certain years for certain months and days | D |
