On King Arthur's Round Table At Winchester Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAABBACDCDCD| Where Venta's Norman castle still uprears | A |
| Its rafter'd hall that o'er the grassy foss | A |
| And scatter'd flinty fragments clad in moss | A |
| On yonder steep in naked state appears | A |
| High hung remains the pride of war like years | A |
| Old Arthur's board on the capacious round | B |
| Some British pen has sketch'd the names renown'd | B |
| In marks obscure of his immortal peers | A |
| Though join'd by magic skill with many a rhyme | C |
| The Druid frame unhonour'd falls a prey | D |
| To the slow vengeance of the wizard Time | C |
| And fade the British characters away | D |
| Yet Spenser's page that chants in verse sublime | C |
| Those chiefs shall live unconscious of decay | D |
