Impromptu, To Oriana. On Attending With Her, As Sponsors, At A Christening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJFK| Lady who didst with angel look and smile | A |
| And the sweet lustre of those dear dark eyes | B |
| Gracefully bend before the font of Christ | C |
| In humble adoration faith and prayer | D |
| Oh as the infant pledge of friends beloved | E |
| Received from thy pure lips its future name | F |
| Sweetly unconscious look'd the baby boy | G |
| How beautifully helpless and how mild | H |
| Methought a seraph spread her shelt'ring wings | I |
| Over the solemn scene and as the sun | J |
| In its full splendour on the altar came | F |
| God's blessing seem'd to sanctify the deed | K |
