On Mr. Gladstone's Retirement Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEEDC| The world grows Lilliput the great men go | A |
| If greatness be it wears no outer sign | B |
| No more the signet of the mighty line | B |
| Stamps the great brow for all the world to know | A |
| Shrunken the mould of manhood is and lo | A |
| Fragments and fractions of the old divine | B |
| Men pert of brain planned on a mean design | B |
| Dapper and undistinguished such we grow | A |
| - | |
| No more the leonine heroic head | C |
| The ruling arm great heart and kingly eye | D |
| No more th' alchemic tongue that turned poor themes | E |
| Of statecraft into golden glowing dreams | E |
| No more a man for man to deify | D |
| Laurel no more the heroic age is dead | C |
