Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - Xxiii - Reproof Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCEE| But what if One through grove or flowery mead | A |
| Indulging thus at will the creeping feet | B |
| Of a voluptuous indolence should meet | B |
| Thy hovering Shade O venerable Bede | A |
| The saint the scholar from a circle freed | A |
| Of toil stupendous in a hallowed seat | B |
| Of learning where thou heard'st the billows beat | B |
| On a wild coast rough monitors to feed | A |
| Perpetual industry Sublime Recluse | C |
| The recreant soul that dares to shun the debt | D |
| Imposed on human kind must first forget | D |
| Thy diligence thy unrelaxing use | C |
| Of a long life and in the hour of death | E |
| The last dear service of thy passing breath | E |
