Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - Xxxiv - Crusades Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBCDEEDDE| The turbaned Race are poured in thickening swarms | A |
| Along the west though driven from Aquitaine | B |
| The Crescent glitters on the towers of Spain | B |
| And soft Italia feels renewed alarms | C |
| The scimitar that yields not to the charms | C |
| Of ease the narrow Bosphorus will disdain | B |
| Nor long that crossed would Grecian hills detain | B |
| Their tents and check the current of their arms | C |
| Then blame not those who by the mightiest lever | D |
| Known to the moral world Imagination | E |
| Upheave so seems it from her natural station | E |
| All Christendom they sweep along was never | D |
| So huge a host to tear from the Unbeliever | D |
| The precious Tomb their haven of salvation | E |
