Return Of George Iii. To Windsor Castle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHIIJJ KK| Not that thy name illustrious dome recalls | A |
| The pomp of chivalry in bannered halls | A |
| The blaze of beauty and the gorgeous sights | B |
| Of heralds trophies steeds and crested knights | B |
| Not that young Surrey there beguiled the hour | C |
| With eyes upturned unto the maiden's tower | C |
| Oh not for these the muse officious brings | D |
| Her gratulations to the best of kings | D |
| But that from cities and from crowds withdrawn | E |
| Calm peace may meet him on the twilight lawn | E |
| That here among these gray primeval trees | F |
| He may inhale health's animating breeze | F |
| That these old oaks which far their shadows cast | G |
| May soothe him while they whisper of the past | G |
| And when from that proud terrace he surveys | H |
| Slow Thames devolving his majestic maze | H |
| Now lost on the horizon's verge now seen | I |
| Winding through lawns and woods and pastures green | I |
| May he reflect upon the waves that roll | J |
| Bearing a nation's wealth from pole to pole | J |
| And own ambition's proudest boast above | K |
| A king's best glory is his country's love | K |
