Sonnet Ix. To Priestley Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCDEDFEF| Tho' roused by that dark Visir riot rude | A |
| Have driven our Priestly o'er the ocean swell | B |
| Tho' Superstition and her wolfish brood | A |
| Bay his mild radiance impotent and fell | B |
| Calm in his halls of Brightness he shall dwell | B |
| For lo Religion at his strong behest | C |
| Starts with mild anger from the Papal spell | B |
| And flings to Earth her tinsel glittering vest | C |
| Her mitred state and cumbrous pomp unholy | D |
| And Justice wakes to bid th' Oppressor wail | E |
| Insulting aye the wrongs of patient folly | D |
| And from her dark retreat by Wisdom won | F |
| Meek Nature slowly lifts her matron veil | E |
| To smile with fondness on her gazing son | F |
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
