Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - Xxv - Missions And Travels Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCDDAEFGHEF| Not sedentary all there are who roam | A |
| To scatter seeds of life on barbarous shores | B |
| Or quit with zealous step their knee worn floors | B |
| To seek the general mart of Christendom | C |
| Whence they like richly laden merchants come | C |
| To their beloved cells or shall we say | D |
| That like the Red cross Knight they urge their way | D |
| To lead in memorable triumph home | A |
| Truth their immortal Una Babylon | E |
| Learned and wise hath perished utterly | F |
| Nor leaves her Speech one word to aid the sigh | G |
| That would lament her Memphis Tyre are gone | H |
| With all their Arts but classic lore glides on | E |
| By these Religious saved for all posterity | F |
