Quantum Mutata Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDFC| There was a time in Europe long ago | A |
| When no man died for freedom anywhere | B |
| But England's lion leaping from its lair | B |
| Laid hands on the oppressor it was so | A |
| While England could a great Republic show | A |
| Witness the men of Piedmont chiefest care | B |
| Of Cromwell when with impotent despair | B |
| The Pontiff in his painted portico | A |
| Trembled before our stern ambassadors | C |
| How comes it then that from such high estate | D |
| We have thus fallen save that Luxury | E |
| With barren merchandise piles up the gate | D |
| Where noble thoughts and deeds should enter by | F |
| Else might we still be Milton's heritors | C |
