At A Solemn Musick Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFGAHHCCCCHCCII JJKKLLMM

Blest pair of Sirens pledges of Heav'ns joyA
Sphear born harmonious Sisters Voice and VersB
Wed your divine sounds and mixt power employA
Dead things with inbreath'd sense able to pierceC
And to our high rais'd phantasie presentD
That undisturbed Song of pure contentE
Ay sung before the saphire colour'd throneF
To him that sits theronG
With Saintly shout and solemn JubilyA
Where the bright Seraphim in burning rowH
Their loud up lifted Angel trumpets blowH
And the Cherubick host in thousand quiresC
Touch their immortal Harps of golden wiresC
With those just Spirits that wear victorious PalmsC
Hymns devout and holy PsalmsC
Singing everlastinglyH
That we on Earth with undiscording voiceC
May rightly answer that melodious noiseC
As once we did till disproportion'd sinI
Jarr'd against natures chime and with harsh dinI
The fair musick that all creatures madeJ
To their great Lord whose love their motion sway'dJ
In perfect Diapason whilst they stoodK
In first obedience and their state of goodK
O may we soon again renew that SongL
And keep in tune with Heav'n till God ere longL
To his celestial consort us uniteM
To live with him and sing in endles morn of lightM

John Milton
