A Criticism Of Critics Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH

How often have the critics trainedA
To look upon the skyB
Through telescopes securely chainedA
Forgot the naked eyeB
-
Within the compass of their glassC
Each smallest star they knewD
And not a meteor could passC
But they were looking throughD
-
When a new planet shed its raysE
Beyond their field of visionF
And simple folk ran out to gazeE
They laughed in high derisionF
-
They railed upon the senseless throngG
Who cheered the brave new lightH
And yet the learned men were wrongG
The simple folk were rightH
