England Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFF GGHHII| Type of the West and glorying in the name | A |
| More than in Faith's pure fame | A |
| Oh trust not crafty fort nor rock renowned | B |
| Earned upon hostile ground | B |
| Wielding Trade's master keys at thy proud will | C |
| To lock or loose its waters England trust not still | C |
| - | |
| Dread thine own power Since haughty Babel's prime | D |
| High towers have been man's crime | D |
| Since her hoar age when the huge moat lay bare | E |
| Strongholds have been man's snare | E |
| Thy nest is in the crags ah refuge frail | F |
| Mad counsel in its hour or traitors will prevail | F |
| - | |
| He who scanned Sodom for His righteous men | G |
| Still spares thee for thy ten | G |
| But should vain tongues the Bride of Heaven defy | H |
| He will not pass thee by | H |
| For as earth's kings welcome their spotless guest | I |
| So gives He them by turn to suffer or be blest | I |
