Written In Butler's Sermons Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCECEFFC| Affections Instincts Principles and Powers | A |
| Impulse and Reason Freedom and Control | B |
| So men unravelling God's harmonious whole | B |
| Rend in a thousand shreds this life of ours | A |
| Vain labour Deep and broad where none may see | C |
| Spring the foundations of the shadowy throne | D |
| Where man's one Nature queen like sits alone | D |
| Centred in a majestic unity | C |
| And rays her powers like sister islands seen | E |
| Linking their coral arms under the sea | C |
| Or cluster'd peaks with plunging gulfs between | E |
| Spann'd by a rial arches all of gold | F |
| Whereo'er the chariot wheels of Life are roll'd | F |
| In cloudy circles to eternity | C |
