Dai Butsu Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACBBCCB| He sits Upon the kingly head doth rest | A |
| The round balled wimple and the heavy rings | B |
| Touch on the shoulders where the swallow clings | B |
| The downward garment shows the ambiguous breast | A |
| The Face that Face one scarce can look on lest | A |
| One learn the secret of unspeakable things | B |
| But the dread gaze descends with shudderings | B |
| To the veiled couched knees the hands and thumbs close pressed | A |
| O lidded downcast eyes that bear the weight | C |
| Of all our woes and terrible wrongs increase | B |
| Proud nostrils lips proud perfecter than these | B |
| With what a soul within you do you wait | C |
| Disdain and pity love late born of hate | C |
| Passion eternal patience pride and peace | B |
