Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - Iii - Trepidation Of The Druids Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEFEGHG| Screams round the Arch druid's brow the seamew white | A |
| As Menai's foam and toward the mystic ring | B |
| Where Augurs stand the Future questioning | B |
| Slowly the cormorant aims her heavy flight | A |
| Portending ruin to each baleful rite | A |
| That in the lapse of ages hath crept o'er | C |
| Diluvian truths and patriarchal lore | D |
| Haughty the Bard can these meek doctrines blight | A |
| His transports wither his heroic strains | E |
| But all shall be fulfilled the Julian spear | F |
| A way first opened and with Roman chains | E |
| The tidings come of Jesus crucified | G |
| They come they spread the weak the suffering hear | H |
| Receive the faith and in the hope abide | G |
