A New Pilgrimage: Sonnet Xvi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Gods what a moral Yet in vain I jest | A |
| The France which has been and shall be again | B |
| Is the most serious and perhaps the best | A |
| Of all the nations which have power with men | B |
| France only of the nations has this plain | C |
| Thought in the world to scorn hypocrisy | D |
| And by this token she shall purge the stain | C |
| Of her sins yet though these as scarlet be | D |
| Let her put off her folly 'Tis a cloak | E |
| Which hides her virtue Let her foremost stand | F |
| The champion of all necks which feel the yoke | E |
| As once she stood sublime in every land | F |
| Let her forgo her Tonquins and make good | G |
| Her boast to man of man's high brotherhood | G |
