Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - Ix - Dissensions Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEEDFE| That heresies should strike if truth be scanned | A |
| Presumptuously their roots both wide and deep | B |
| Is natural as dreams to feverish sleep | B |
| Lo Discord at the altar dares to stand | A |
| Uplifting toward high Heaven her fiery brand | A |
| A cherished Priestess of the new baptized | C |
| But chastisement shall follow peace despised | C |
| The Pictish cloud darkens the enervate land | A |
| By Rome abandoned vain are suppliant cries | D |
| And prayers that would undo her forced farewell | E |
| For she returns not Awed by her own knell | E |
| She casts the Britons upon strange Allies | D |
| Soon to become more dreaded enemies | F |
| Than heartless misery called them to repel | E |
