Sonnet Vii. To Burke Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFEFGH| As late I lay in Slumber's shadowy vale | A |
| With wetted cheek and in a mourner's guise | B |
| I saw the sainted form of FREEDOM rise | B |
| She spake not sadder moans the autumnal gale | A |
| 'Great Son of Genius sweet to me thy name | C |
| Ere in an evil hour with alter'd voice | D |
| Thou bad'st Oppression's hireling crew rejoice | D |
| Blasting with wizard spell my laurell'd fame | C |
| Yet never Burke thou drank'st Corruption's bowl | E |
| Thee stormy Pity and the cherished lure | F |
| Of Pomp and proud Precipitance of soul | E |
| Wildered with meteor fires Ah Spirit pure | F |
| That error's mist had left thy purged eye | G |
| So might I clasp thee with a Mother's joy ' | H |
