Theoretikos Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEFDDF| This mighty empire hath but feet of clay | A |
| Of all its ancient chivalry and might | B |
| Our little island is forsaken quite | B |
| Some enemy hath stolen its crown of bay | A |
| And from its hills that voice hath passed away | A |
| Which spake of Freedom O come out of it | C |
| Come out of it my Soul thou art not fit | C |
| For this vile traffic house where day by day | A |
| Wisdom and reverence are sold at mart | D |
| And the rude people rage with ignorant cries | E |
| Against an heritage of centuries | F |
| It mars my calm wherefore in dreams of Art | D |
| And loftiest culture I would stand apart | D |
| Neither for God nor for his enemies | F |
