Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - Xxix - Danish Conquests Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCEDE| Woe to the Crown that doth the Cowl obey | A |
| Dissension checking arms that would restrain | B |
| The incessant Rovers of the northern main | B |
| Helps to restore and spread a Pagan sway | A |
| But Gospel truth is potent to allay | A |
| Fierceness and rage and soon the cruel Dane | B |
| Feels through the influence of her gentle reign | B |
| His native superstitions melt away | A |
| Thus often when thick gloom the east o'ershrouds | C |
| The full orbed Moon slow climbing doth appear | D |
| Silently to consume the heavy clouds | C |
| 'How' no one can resolve but every eye | E |
| Around her sees while air is hushed a clear | D |
| And widening circuit of ethereal sky | E |
