Patriotism 01 Innominatus Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCDEEFFGGHHII| BREATHES there the man with soul so dead | A |
| Who never to himself hath said | A |
| 'This is my own my native land ' | B |
| Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd | C |
| As home his footsteps he hath turn'd | C |
| From wandering on a foreign strand | D |
| If such there breathe go mark him well | E |
| For him no Minstrel raptures swell | E |
| High though his titles proud his name | F |
| Boundless his wealth as wish can claim | F |
| Despite those titles power and pelf | G |
| The wretch concentred all in self | G |
| Living shall forfeit fair renown | H |
| And doubly dying shall go down | H |
| To the vile dust from whence he sprung | I |
| Unwept unhonour'd and unsung | I |
