Sonnets On The Discovery Of Botany Bay By Captain Cook - I - The First Attempt To Reach The Shore Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAACADADADAEE| Where is the painter who shall paint for you | A |
| My Austral brothers with a pencil steeped | B |
| In hues of Truth the weather smitten crew | A |
| Who gazed on unknown shores a thoughtful few | A |
| What time the heart of their great Leader leaped | C |
| Till he was faint with pain of longing New | A |
| And wondrous sights on each and every hand | D |
| Like strange supernal visions grew and grew | A |
| Until the rocks and trees and sea and sand | D |
| Danced madly in the tear bewildered view | A |
| And from the surf a fierce fantastic band | D |
| Of startled wild men to the hills withdrew | A |
| With yells of fear Who'll paint thy face O Cook | E |
| Turned seaward after many a wistful look | E |
