John Duke Of Marlborough Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFFGGHI| When the proud Frenchman's strong rapacious hand | A |
| Spread o'er Europe ruin and command | A |
| Our sinking temples and expiring law | B |
| With trembling dread the rolling tempest saw | B |
| Destin'd a province to insulting Gaul | C |
| This genius rose and stopp'd the ponderous fall | C |
| His temperate valour form'd no giddy scheme | D |
| No victory ras'd him to a rage of fame | E |
| The happy temper of his even mind | F |
| No danger e'er could shock or conquest blind | F |
| Fashion'd alike by Nature and by Art | G |
| To please engage and int'rest ev'ry heart | G |
| In public life by all who saw approv'd | H |
| In private hours by all who knew him lov'd | I |
