Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - Xv - Paulinus Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBCCBDDDDEE| But to remote Northumbria's royal Hall | A |
| Where thoughtful Edwin tutored in the school | B |
| Of sorrow still maintains a heathen rule | B |
| 'Who' comes with functions apostolical | B |
| Mark him of shoulders curved and stature tall | B |
| Black hair and vivid eye and meagre cheek | C |
| His prominent feature like an eagle's beak | C |
| A Man whose aspect doth at once appal | B |
| And strike with reverence The Monarch leans | D |
| Toward the pure truths this Delegate propounds | D |
| Repeatedly his own deep mind he sounds | D |
| With careful hesitation then convenes | D |
| A synod of his Councilors give ear | E |
| And what a pensive Sage doth utter hear | E |
