Inscription Vi: For A Monument In The New Forest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDECFCACGFAHFFFThis is the place where William's kingly power | A |
Did from their poor and peaceful homes expel | B |
Unfriended desolate and shelterless | C |
The habitants of all the fertile track | D |
Far as these wilds extend He levell'd down | E |
Their little cottages he bade their fields | C |
Lie barren so that o'er the forest waste | F |
He might most royally pursue his sports | C |
If that thine heart be human Passenger | A |
Sure it will swell within thee and thy lips | C |
Will mutter curses on him Think thou then | G |
What cities flame what hosts unsepulchred | F |
Pollute the passing wind when raging Power | A |
Drives on his blood hounds to the chase of Man | H |
And as thy thoughts anticipate that day | F |
When God shall judge aright in charity | F |
Pray for the wicked rulers of mankind | F |
