Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - Xxvii - His Descendants Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEDEFF| When thy great soul was freed from mortal chains | A |
| Darling of England many a bitter shower | B |
| Fell on thy tomb but emulative power | B |
| Flowed in thy line through undegenerate veins | A |
| The Race of Alfred covet glorious pains | A |
| When dangers threaten dangers ever new | C |
| Black tempests bursting blacker still in view | C |
| But manly sovereignty its hold retains | A |
| The root sincere the branches bold to strive | D |
| With the fierce tempest while within the round | E |
| Of their protection gentle virtues thrive | D |
| As oft 'mid some green plot of open ground | E |
| Wide as the oak extends its dewy gloom | F |
| The fostered hyacinths spread their purple bloom | F |
