Avaunt All Specious Pliancy Of Mind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDAEFFEFEAVAUNT all specious pliancy of mind | A |
In men of low degree all smooth pretence | B |
I better like a blunt indifference | B |
And self respecting slowness disinclined | A |
To win me at first sight and be there joined | C |
Patience and temperance with this high reserve | D |
Honour that knows the path and will not swerve | D |
Affections which if put to proof are kind | A |
And piety towards God Such men of old | E |
Were England's native growth and throughout Spain | F |
Thanks to high God forests of such remain | F |
Then for that Country let our hopes be bold | E |
For matched with these shall policy prove vain | F |
Her arts her strength her iron and her gold | E |
