Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - Xxxix - Papal Dominion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBADADADA| Unless to Peter's Chair the viewless wind | A |
| Must come and ask permission when to blow | B |
| What further empire would it have for now | C |
| A ghostly Domination unconfined | A |
| As that by dreaming Bards to Love assigned | A |
| Sits there in sober truth to raise the low | B |
| Perplex the wise the strong to overthrow | B |
| Through earth and heaven to bind and to unbind | A |
| Resist the thunder quails thee crouch rebuff | D |
| Shall be thy recompense from land to land | A |
| The ancient thrones of Christendom are stuff | D |
| For occupation of a magic wand | A |
| And 'tis the Pope that wields it whether rough | D |
| Or smooth his front our world is in his hand | A |
William Wordsworth
