Ode On A Sermon Against Glory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDDD EFEFGGCCHCome then tell me sage divine | A |
Is it an offence to own | B |
That our bosoms e'er incline | A |
Toward immortal glory's throne | B |
For with me nor pomp nor pleasure | C |
Bourbon's might Braganza's treasure | C |
So can fancy's dream rejoice | D |
So conciliate reason's choice | D |
As one approving word of her impartial voice | D |
- | |
If to spurn at noble praise | E |
Be the pass port to thy heaven | F |
Follow thou those gloomy ways | E |
No such law to me was given | F |
Nor I trust shall I deplore me | G |
Faring like my friends before me | G |
Nor an holier place desire | C |
Than Timolean's arms acquire | C |
And Tully's curule chair and Milton's golden lyre | H |
