The Turk In Armenia Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACCADDEBBE| What profits it O England to prevail | A |
| In camp and mart and council and bestrew | B |
| With argosies thy oceans and renew | C |
| With tribute levied on each golden gale | A |
| Thy treasuries if thou canst hear the wail | A |
| Of women martyred by the turbaned crew | C |
| Whose tenderest mercy was the sword that slew | C |
| And lift no hand to wield the purging flail | A |
| We deemed of old thou held'st a charge from Him | D |
| Who watches girdled by his seraphim | D |
| To smite the wronger with thy destined rod | E |
| Wait'st thou his sign Enough the unanswered cry | B |
| Of virgin souls for vengeance and on high | B |
| The gathering blackness of the frown of God | E |
