Antistrophe Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFEEGGHHEE IIJJKK| Thou who such weary Length hast past | A |
| Where wilt thou rest mad Nymph at last | A |
| Say wilt thou shroud in haunted Cell | B |
| Where gloomy Rape and Murder dwell | B |
| Or in some hollow'd Seat | C |
| 'Gainst which the big Waves beat | C |
| Hear drowning Sea men's Cries in Tempests brought | D |
| Dark Pow'r with shudd'ring meek submitted Thought | D |
| Be mine to read the Visions old | E |
| Which thy awak'ning Bards have told | E |
| And lest thou meet my blasted View | F |
| Hold each strange Tale devoutly true | F |
| Ne'er be I found by Thee o'eraw'd | E |
| In that thrice hallow'd Eve abroad | E |
| When Ghosts as Cottage Maids believe | G |
| Their pebbled Beds permitted leave | G |
| And Gobblins haunt from Fire or Fen | H |
| Or Mine or Flood the Walks of Men | H |
| O Thou whose Spirit most possest | E |
| The sacred Seat of Shakespear's Breast | E |
| By all that from thy Prophet broke | I |
| In thy Divine Emotions spoke | I |
| Hither again thy Fury deal | J |
| Teach me but once like Him to feel | J |
| His Cypress Wreath my Meed decree | K |
| And I O Fear will dwell with Thee | K |
