Calais, August 15, 1802 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDECE| FESTIVALS have I seen that were not names | A |
| This is young Buonaparte's natal day | B |
| And his is henceforth an established sway | B |
| Consul for life With worship France proclaims | A |
| Her approbation and with pomps and games | A |
| Heaven grant that other Cities may be gay | B |
| Calais is not and I have bent my way | B |
| To the sea coast noting that each man frames | A |
| His business as he likes Far other show | C |
| My youth here witnessed in a prouder time | D |
| The senselessness of joy was then sublime | D |
| Happy is he who caring not for Pope | E |
| Consul or King can sound himself to know | C |
| The destiny of Man and live in hope | E |
