Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBBCDDCDCFairfax whose name in armes through Europe rings | A |
Filling each mouth with envy or with praise | B |
And all her jealous monarchs with amaze | B |
And rumors loud that daunt remotest kings | A |
Thy firm unshak'n vertue ever brings | A |
Victory home though new rebellions raise | B |
Their Hydra heads the fals North displaies | B |
Her brok'n league to impe their serpent wings | B |
O yet a nobler task awaites thy hand | C |
Yet what can Warr but endless warr still breed | D |
Till Truth Right from Violence be freed | D |
And Public Faith cleard from the shamefull brand | C |
Of Public Fraud In vain doth Valour bleed | D |
While Avarice Rapine share the land | C |
John Milton
