Sonnet To A Stilton Cheese Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA DEFDEF| Stilton thou shouldst be living at this hour | A |
| And so thou art Nor losest grace thereby | B |
| England has need of thee and so have I | B |
| She is a Fen Far as the eye can scour | A |
| League after grassy league from Lincoln tower | A |
| To Stilton in the fields she is a Fen | C |
| Yet this high cheese by choice of fenland men | C |
| Like a tall green volcano rose in power | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| Plain living and long drinking are no more | D |
| And pure religion reading 'Household Words' | E |
| And sturdy manhood sitting still all day | F |
| Shrink like this cheese that crumbles to its core | D |
| While my digestion like the House of Lords | E |
| The heaviest burdens on herself doth lay | F |
