John Bohun Martin Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEFGFE| Keeping his word the promised Roman kept | A |
| Enough of worded breath to live till now | B |
| Our Regulus was free of plighted vow | B |
| Or tacit debt skies fell seas leapt storms swept | A |
| Death yawned with a mere step he might have stept | A |
| To life But the House master would know how | B |
| To do the master's honours and did know | C |
| And did them to the hour of rest and slept | A |
| The last of all his house Oh thou heart's core | D |
| Of Truth how will the nations sentence thee | E |
| Hark as loud Europe cries 'Could man do more ' | F |
| Great England lifts her head from her distress | G |
| And answers 'But could Englishman do less ' | F |
| Ah England goddess of the years to be | E |
