Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - Xxxv - Richard I Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDCE| Redoubted King of courage leonine | A |
| I mark thee Richard urgent to equip | B |
| Thy warlike person with the staff and scrip | B |
| I watch thee sailing o'er the midland brine | A |
| In conquered Cyprus see thy Bride decline | A |
| Her blushing cheek love vows upon her lip | B |
| And see love emblems streaming from thy ship | B |
| As thence she holds her way to Palestine | A |
| My Song a fearless homager would attend | C |
| Thy thundering battle axe as it cleaves the press | D |
| Of war but duty summons her away | E |
| To tell how finding in the rash distress | D |
| Of those Enthusiasts a subservient friend | C |
| To giddier heights hath clomb the Papal sway | E |
