America In 1804 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: A BCCCCCCCCCCCCC

America Conquers EuropeA
-
Foul shapes that hate the day again grown boldB
Late driven hence infested fane and courtC
The laurels of our victory were amortC
Vile King craft with his breed of blood and goldC
Took heart to see the ancient wrongs infoldC
Our life and childish figments which disportC
I' that pale light whose essence mayn't supportC
Realities in Freedom's hall to holdC
Sick carnival did troop But at the heightC
Of that debauch while yet could be erasedC
The smut and spittle from the sacred chartC
Written in blood a man whose soul gave lightC
Intolerable to kings their power abasedC
As he subdued the empire of the heartC
