In The Reading-room Of The British Museum Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBA DEDEDE| Praised 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 |
