Laus Mariae Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAAAAACDCDEE| Across the brook of Time man leaping goes | A |
| On stepping stones of epochs that uprise | B |
| Fixed memorable midst broad shallow flows | A |
| Of neutrals kill times sleeps indifferencies | A |
| So twixt each morn and night rise salient heaps | A |
| Some cross with but a zigzag jaded pace | A |
| From meal to meal some with convulsive leaps | A |
| Shake the green tussocks of malign disgrace | A |
| And some advance by system and deep art | C |
| O'er vantages of wealth place learning tact | D |
| But thou within thyself dear manifold heart | C |
| Dost bind all epochs in one dainty Fact | D |
| Oh sweet my pretty sum of history | E |
| I leapt the breadth of Time in loving thee | E |
