In The Reading-room Of The British Museum Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBA DEDEDEPraised be the moon of books that doth above | A |
A world of men the fallen Past behold | B |
And fill the spaces else so void and cold | B |
To make a very heaven again thereof | A |
As when the sun is set behind a grove | C |
And faintly unto nether ether rolled | B |
All night his whiter image and his mould | B |
Grows beautiful with looking on her love | A |
- | |
Thou therefore moon of so divine a ray | D |
Lend to our steps both fortitude and light | E |
Feebly along a venerable way | D |
They climb the infinite or perish quite | E |
Nothing are days and deeds to such as they | D |
While in this liberal house thy face is bright | E |
