On The Queen's Return From The Low Countries Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDD EEAAFG HHHHIJ| Hallow the threshold crown the posts anew | A |
| The day shall have its due | A |
| Twist all our victories into one bright wreath | B |
| On which let honour breathe | C |
| Then throw it round the temples of our Queen | D |
| 'Tis she that must preserve those glories green | D |
| - | |
| When greater tempests than on sea before | E |
| Received her on the shore | E |
| When she was shot at 'for the King's own good' | A |
| By legions hired to blood | A |
| How bravely did she do how bravely bear | F |
| And show'd though they durst rage she durst not fear | G |
| - | |
| Courage was cast about her like a dress | H |
| Of solemn comeliness | H |
| A gather'd mind and an untroubled face | H |
| Did give her dangers grace | H |
| Thus arm'd with innocence secure they move | I |
| Whose highest 'treason' is but highest love | J |
