Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - Xxiv - Saxon Monasteries, And Lights And Shades Of The Religion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADDAEFGFFE| By such examples moved to unbought pains | A |
| The people work like congregated bees | B |
| Eager to build the quiet Fortresses | C |
| Where Piety as they believe obtains | A |
| From Heaven a 'general' blessing timely rains | A |
| Or needful sunshine prosperous enterprise | D |
| Justice and peace bold faith yet also rise | D |
| The sacred Structures for less doubtful gains | A |
| The Sensual think with reverence of the palms | E |
| Which the chaste Votaries seek beyond the grave | F |
| If penance be redeemable thence alms | G |
| Flow to the poor and freedom to the slave | F |
| And if full oft the Sanctuary save | F |
| Lives black with guilt ferocity it calms | E |
